JOSH JUNIOR (NZL)
| Nomination |
What is it about the
number 37? In 1992 in
Argentina Ben Ainslie
recorded his best ever
finish at the Optimist
Worlds of 37th and in Perth in 2011
Josh Junior recorded his best result
at the Laser Worlds… finishing 37th.
It must be a Finn thing. So Junior will
travel to Enoshima this summer for
his second Olympic appearance – he
finished 7th in Rio – as the reigning
holder of both the Finn Gold Cup and
the America’s Cup won with Emirates
Team New Zealand. It’s a decent start
