King Haarald of Norway , and King Constantine of Greece also represented their countries in the Olympics , and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark has represented Denmark many times ,including last week at the International championships , which were held in Denmark. France won overall , and New Zealand came second. Crown Prince Frederik was a member of the Danish team and Crown Princess Mary was a member of the Australian team. She just beat Prince Frederik in one of the races and he roared with laughter.

A guy all George Bruder, did not compete on Olympic because he pass on a plane crash in early 70’ after a wining the Finn gold cup! Sure there are some Brazilians watching this.
