New Zealand sailors Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie are within a single point of gold heading into tomorrow morning's medal race at the 470 world championships in Spain.
On the final day of series racing overnight, Aleh and Powrie held on to their third place position and reeled in leaders
Britain and the Netherlands to sit just one point back before the double point medal race.
"It is quite impressive," Aleh said. "I haven't really looked at the results, it is going to be a pretty good race tomorrow. Somebody's going to be pretty annoyed at the end of it."
The Olympics-bound pairing are guaranteed to finish inside the top five overall, and a spot on the podium could be given to any crew in that top five.
Men's 470 pairing Paul Snow Hansen and Jason Saunders improved their overall rank in their two races overnight and are now up to 22nd overall. They will not feature in the medal race but face one final race tomorrow for the remaining boats in the gold fleet.
