“Any race at home is something to be treasured, so I am more than happy to be racing again on the Gold Coast at my 11th world championships,” Gentle said.
“When I arrive to race in September, it will be the first time being home since the Commonwealth Games in April, so I can’t wait to be back.
“It’s a very different scenario than leading into the Rotterdam (grand final) last year, when I was going in ranked second in the world, and that’s not going to be the case this year.
“I will only have four scores on the board but that won't hinder my motivation to do the best I can at the grand final.”
