In 1970, the Boocock brothers represented England in the World Pair Championship. Does anybody know if any other brothers ever represented their country together in this competition? 

Not aware of any other brothers in the final.

Ila and Pepe Teromaa represented Finland in the 1975 World Pairs Semi-final but didn't qualify for the Final.

There's possibly some lesser countries represented by brothers in World Pairs preliminary qualifying rounds.   Adi Funk seems to have ridden for Austria in a preliminary round alongside a Robert Funk who may be his brother.

1984 semi Jan & Bjorn Andersson

1987 semi Shawn & Kelly Moran

in addition I assume Patrice and Alain Blondy (France 88) and Frans/Geert Cools (Belgium 89) were brothers

Didn't spot any other finalists

Not actual "pairs" (it was the three person team/pairs event), but Patrick and Roy Verbrugge rode for the Netherlands in the qualification group in 1994.

Before anyone says it, we know about brothers-in-law (Niemi/Koponen and Loram/Louis)...
