The following year she won the eighth title at the World Championships in Lucerne in front of the boats from Romania and Germany. At the 2002 World Championships , Kristina Larsen , Jodi Winter , Rebecca Sattin and Victoria Roberts from last year's eighth also rowed in the four without a helmsman and won the final two seconds ahead of the Canadians. All the rowers of the four-man were also in the eighth, who fought a close race with the German boat behind the US eighth. At the finish line, the Australians had a lead of nine hundredths of a second to win the silver medal. At the 2003 World Championships , the Australian eighth was fourth and missed the medal positions by one and a half seconds. In 2004, Sattin switched to the double foursome . In the cast of Dana Faletic , Rebecca Sattin, Kerry Hore and Amber Bradley , the boat reached the A-final at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens . In the final, the Australians crossed the finish line in fourth place, 42 hundredths of a second behind third. Due to the later doping disqualification of the Ukrainian Olena Olefirenko , the Australians subsequently won the bronze medal.
