GER, the defending World Champions, did what was needed, going wire-to-wire for the
victory. As predicte, AUS (2nd at Worlds) and SUI finished 2nd and 3rd to move on to the
FA final with GER. GER's finishing time, however, was 5 seconds slower than ITA's in the
other semi-final, spelling trouble for GER in the final.LANE CREW RELATIVE POSITIONS ELAPSED SPLIT
