Anton och Fredrik avancerar på 470 EM
Killarna kom med till Guldfinal med ett nödrop. Drog in första spiken i finalen.
A total change of fortunes and form from Sweden’s Anton Dahlberg/Fredrik Bergström today. Yesterday they only just made the cut for the gold fleet, being the last of the 36 boats to advance through and on a tiebreak. Today they were leading the best 470 sailors in the world round the race track to claim a win in the opening race of the Final Stage. The early race advantage went to the young French pair of Vianney Guilbaud/Vincent Guillarm, who led the gold fleet up to the windward mark, before the Swedes accelerated downwind taking advantage of the slower speed of the French and held on to the finish. Austria’s David Bargehr/Lukas Mähr pushed hard but just couldn’t catch the Swedes, but were more than satisfied with their 2nd place finish ahead of the French in third.
