6th WUC Match Racing – Semi-Finals: Brazil and Australia on Top!

FISU 8 September 2012

 

NICE- This 6th World championship will certainly stay in the annals, for a very good reason. Before even the beginning of the finales on Saturday, we already know the name of both victorious countries: it will be Brazil and Australia!

Yesterday, September 7th, under a blazing sun and 8 knots of wind, both Brazilian crews dominated the women’s competition and won their ticket for the finals by wining their match against France (2-1) and Switzerland (2-0). Idem for Australia in the men’s competition which realized a great performance by qualifying its two boats for the big final thanks to its victories in the semi-finals against Great Britain and Denmark.

Today, Saturday, two fratricide duels will thus determine on one side the sixth men’s university world champion as well as the first university women’s world champions of match racing.
