Two Slovene Boats in Finals

Sydney, 21 September - Slovene rowers enjoyed success in the semi-finals of the 2000 Olympic Games. Favourites in the double sculls Iztok Cop and Luka Spik justified their tag with a comfortable victory in their semi-final, while the coxless four of Klemencic/Jansa/Kolander/Prelog finished second in theirs to also book themselves a ticket to Friday's finals. The only Slovene team that failed to reach the finals were the coxless pair of Miha Pirih and Grega Sracnjek, who finished fifth in their semi-final.
