ROME – Egyptian athletes Malak Ismail and Zeina Amer won gold medals at the UIPM 2022 Youth World Championships, held in Italy’s Lignano.
Ismail and Amer came in first place with a score of 989 points.
Egypt (Amer/Ismail) produced a solid Laser Run to hold on to pole position as the home challenge fell away, allowing Great Britain (Clements/Holland) to push through strongly for silver.
By far the quickest Laser Run was delivered by Korea (Kim/Shin), who timed 13:35.32 to put a 20sec margin between themselves and 4th-placed Hungary (Lili Gyarmati & Laura Walthier).
Silver went to Verity Clements and Gabrielle Holland of Great Britain while Korea achieved their second bronze in successive days thanks to Yena Kim and Sumin Shin.
