Paul Snow-Hansen
and Dan Willcox couldn t have asked for a better result
heading into the Tokyo Olympics after winning the open men s
470 title at the European championships in Portugal
overnight (NZ time).
The pair went into the
top-10 medal race in second, eight points behind Kevin
Peponnet and Jeremie Mion and needing to finish at least
four boats ahead of the the French combination. They managed
to do that in the double points showdown, with Snow-Hansen
and Willcox fourth and the French ninth in the light 5-8
