Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]
From the words of the sailors competing at ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyères it was a beautiful ending to a perfect week. More than 1,100 sailors from 59 nations raced at the final ISAF Sailing World Cup regatta of the 2013-2014 series and were treated to exceptional race action. Medals across the ten Olympic events were decided on the final day with a 10-12 knot westerly breeze on flat water bringing a superb week to an end
49er
Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (NZL) made it two ISAF Sailing World Cup regatta victories in a row with another dominant display.
The Kiwis sealed the deal in the opening race of three stadium style races as they took the first bullet and Burling was delighted to pick up his second consecutive World Cup gold,
"I’m pretty stoked to take the win. We had a pretty big lead but it was mathematically possible to lose it so we made sure we did the job in the first race and had a bit of fun in the last two.
"It was really great to get out in the lead in the first race and just be able to sail away.
"We’re definitely really happy with how we backed up Palma with another win.”
The silver medal was picked up by Ryan Seaton and Matthew Mcgovern and the Irish team were all smiles after racing.
"It was a great week and obviously the result tops it all off,” said Mcgovern.
"What a great week of sailing in Hyères. It’s been six days of brilliant breeze and sunshine. It couldn’t be any better in every respect."
Seaton and McGovern finished a disappointing 35th in Mallorca just weeks ago and hit back hard to show the fleet what they are all about, "We came here and we knew we had to hit the ground running. We couldn’t have two bad weeks in a row so it was full on, ’put the engines on’ and go as fast around the course and keep the mistakes to a minimum.”
Australia’s Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen pushed hard on the final day to pick up bronze.
