Pinsent and Cracknell are looking for revenge for their May defeat
|
British duo Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell have eased into the semi-finals of the coxless pairs at the world rowing championships in Italy.
The pair won their heat and a place alongside Croatian brothers Sinisa and Niksa Skelin, and Italians Giuseppe De Vita and Dario Lari.
In May, the Croats and Italians stunned the British into third at a World Cup regatta on the same Idroscalo lake.
Pinsent has won three Olympic gold medals and 10 world titles, and he and Cracknell have been a team since 2000.
Elsewhere, New Zealand twins Georgina and Caroline Evers Swindell won
their women's double sculls heat to advance to the semi-finals.
And world and Olympic champions Georgeta Andrunache and Viorica Susanu of Romania progressed with ease into the women's pairs semis.
