The USA has now slipped back to a 4th place tie with CAN. (Go North America!!!). Despite not making the finals and having no chance of winning, both remain firmly ahead of finalist FRA and GB. Go figure . . .
Which boat will win the World Rowing Championship in Men's Coxless Pairs? -
The GBR four was unbeaten since the 2004 Olympics. But the Dutch and the all Blacks have been slowly creeping up. Then at Lucerne it happened. The GBR had an injury substitute. First NZ in the semis, then NED in the finals beat the vaunted UK four.
Back to their original line-up, the GBR should be 1-3 secs faster, which may be enough. But NED and NZ have them in their sights and seem to be improving too.
On the outside trying to break in is the USA, which has 2 of the 4 men from the Lucerne 2004 boat which beat both the Olympic Gold UK and the Silver CAN (the USA men were in the 8+ at Athens). Others to watch are CZE, IRL, GER and AUS, anyone of whom could put together a medal winning race. Expect some good, hard, close racing in the semis and finals.

Sure Drysdale is the top dog now, but this is one of the deepest fields in the history of the sport. The top 5 all have won either the World Cup title and/or the World Championship and/or the Olympics and all are capable of winning this race. Together, they hold 6 of the 9 fastest times ever in the event (sub 6:40). Should be a great race.

Contenders in more events than any other country, favorites in none. All season long, Germany has been shifting line-ups to try to find a little faster combination. What will the World Championships bring? Guess here.
