Croatia + Austria to Olympics

 

 
Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark (GBR) win the 2012 470 Women Worlds after finishing third in the Medal Race, Camille Lecointre/Mathilde Geron (FRA) take the silver and Lisa Westerhof/Lobke Berkhout (NED) the bronze. The race win went to Ai Kondo/Wakaka Tabata (JPN) – a great way to end this Championship.

In the battle for Olympic qualification Croatia’s Enia Nincevic/Romana Zupan finished the race in 11th ahead of Austria’s Lara Vadlau/Eva-Maria Schimak in 12th, with Russia’s Natalia Ivanova/Diana Kurtskikh just behind in 13th. Pending any protests this finish order would give the final two Olympic nation qualification places to Croatia and Austria. This is provisional, confirmation will be given later.
