Micky Beckett’s gold let the way in a three-medal haul for the Brits, with John Gimson and Anna Burnet winning bronze in the Nacra 17 and young gun Matilda Nicholls also taking bronze, her first medal at senior level, in the ILCA 6.
Tokyo 2020 silver medallists Gimson and Burnet, who are also confirmed in the Paris 2024 line-up, had a tricky week in the 48-boat Nacra 17 fleet. But a second-place finish in the medal race elevated them into the bronze medal position.
Matilda Nicholls, from Durley in Hampshire, also went into her medal race in fourth, and like her teammates scored a second to jump into the bronze spot.
