Australia’s Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page are set to go head-to-head with Great Britain’s Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell on Thursday in a fight for the 470 men’s gold medal.
Belcher and Page will take a four point lead over the British into the decider after winning the final two fleet, and as long as the Australians finish within one place of the hometown crew the gold will be theirs. The top two crews are already guaranteed at least a silver medal.
