IAN WALKER (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
All that this two-time
Olympic medallist ever
asked for to burnish his
round-the-world
credentials was a boat
that was ‘no slower’ than his rivals.
That was certainly not the case the last
time around and his previous – race
debut – experience was even worse.
This time however Walker got the level
playing field he wanted and promptly
delivered on his own expectations.
At times Dongfeng threatened, but
Walker the tactician kept control
