Dan Willcox

EVENT: Sailing: Men's 470

Dan Willcox will be heading to his second Olympic Games in Tokyo as crew of the men's 470 team with helm Paul Snow-Hansen.

The pair have been sailing together since 2013 and were 10^th at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. They showed their potential in 2019 when they won the World Cup Series event in Genoa, with the pair previously placing second at the 2016 470 World Championships in Argentina.

Willcox, who hails from Auckland and sails out of the Murrays Bay Sailing Club, comes from a high-achieving family. His father Hamish is a three-time 470 world champion, was involved in four America's Cup campaigns and presently coaches Peter Burling and Blair Tuke in the 49er.

His sister Anna went to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in freestyle skiing.

Snow-Hansen and Willcox are coached by Geoff Woolley.
