Guadalquivir River, Seville, Spain
 

Men's Coxless Pair (M2-)

Pinsent and Cracknell of Great Britain, both gold medalists in the Sydney M4-, will take on the Skelin brothers from Croatia (bronze in Sydney M8+), and Carboncini from Italy's silver medal M4- in Sydney. The British pair won this event at the Princeton World Cup earlier this year. Volpenhein of the USA with gold medals at the 1998 and 1999 Worlds in the eight brings a new pair, and Visacki and Stojic are back for Yugoslavia (5th in Sydney in this event). Both could be surprise challengers.
