The Paris open was held over the last weekend in May and 4 British teams were in attendance
Smith/Brown put up the fastest time of the meeting - a 3:13.9 in the first round and then put their best gear away to preserve it.
Unfortunately, the final was a bit of a disaster - finishing after just 1 minute and 10 seconds with a DQ and a retirement
