With 4 boats separated by 1 second with 500 meters to go, the Republic of South Africa
pulled away to an astounding upset of AUS, CAN and RUS, the 1st, 2nd and 4th place
finishers at the 1999 Worlds. The finish was not close, with RSA enjoying open water over
all three of them. Check out the instant replay on this one. Turning gold means a crew is
closing on the leader in the current 500 meter interval, and silver means closing on the
second place crew, but still falling back from the leader.LANE CREW RELATIVE POSITIONS ELAPSED SPLIT
