Paul Snow-Hansen

EVENT: Sailing: Men's 470

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

The pair have been sailing together since 2013 and were 10th 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.

Snow-Hansen, who was fifth with Jason Saunders in the men's 470 at the 2012 London Olympics, is from Auckland and grew up sailing at the Wakatere Boating Club at Narrowneck Beach on the North Shore.

Snow-Hansen and Willcox are coached by Geoff Woolley.
