New Zealanders Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie have won the bronze medal in the 470 class at the World Sailing Championships in Perth tonight.
The pair had to do it the hard way too after over-shooting the start line and having to do a penalty turn.
But they made up good ground on the first leg to quickly get back into the hunt and finish behind Spain and Great Britain.
Aleh and Powrie had qualified the class for next year's Olympics when making the gold medal race and will now be favoured to get the nod for selection to London.
The New Zealanders qualified fourth best for the final race, which was contested by 10 boats.
