Girls win gold at 470 world championships.

[GWC]

Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark have won the gold medal for Great Britain in Barcelona, let's hope they can repeat the win at the Olympics!

I read the title and wondered what they were in that needed a crew of 470

[Eric Mc]

That was a rather big team.

[GWC]

Yes that title does look a bit misleading I suppose

For those who don't know what a 470 is, this will help:

(some Lasers there too)

The title change probably makes more sense to people now The confusion came from the fact that Saskia and Hannah refer to themselves as the 470 girls.

and I read it thinking that have won Gold 470 times- a very successful team indeed!!

Anyhow very well done. another promising prospect for London 2012. Hopefully we wont hear any of the "yes well this was only sa wrm-up for the 2016 olympics" which we usually hear when they dont do well

And for those who have no interest in women's 470 racing, allow me (well this is PH after all!) Christina and Saskia, still the best looking 470 team in GB history (and if you are reading this sorry about nearly crashing into you in a 12' skiff at WPNSA but me and my crew were somewhat distracted...)
