JORDI XAMMAR / NORA BRUGMAN (ESP) WIN 54TH FRENCH OLYMPIC WEEK
29 Apr 2023After dominating the week but stalling on Friday, Spain’s Jordi Xammar- Hernandez & Nora Brugman took gold by beating Austria’s Lara Vadlau & Lukas Mähr, who had started the day on equal points, but could only finish sixth in the medal race to claim silver.
The Spanish were second in the race to Germany’s Malte Winkel & Anastasiya Winkel, who took bronze, leapfrogging Portugal’s Diogo Costa & Carolina Joäo, who had started the day one point ahead but finished 5th in race.
Jordi Xammar-Hernandez & Nora Brugman: “We’re feeling really good. It’s been a really nice week, yesterday got a little complicated so it’s nice to finish strong today. It just made it a little bit more difficult so we had to me more precise today, it’s good practice. We had things as under control as you can, but anything can happen.
“On the start - 20 seconds before - we managed to get a penalty on them, and from them we tried to control them but also keep it simple because we had a good gap - not a lot but enough to control them.”
