Nicole Kidman congratulates Aussie Men's 470 Gold Winners

by Laura Baldwin

Nicole Kidman, after whose movies Nathan and Malcolm named their boat ‘Australia’ (following a long tradition which goes back to their boat ‘Bangkok Hilton’), has been in touch with Wilmot and Page throughout their Olympic campaign and was thrilled when they won Gold. She has been cheering them on from the film set and was one of the first to congratulate them on their win.

Nathan Wilmot and Malcolm Page went into the Men's 470 medal race with a 22 point lead. They needed only to sail in the race to make the Gold medal a reality, but the Sydney pair sealed their victory with a race win, leading from start to finish.
