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

Brazil’s Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze will go into the remainder of 2014 full of confidence after they took their second consecutive ISAF Sailing World Cup gold medal in Hyères.
The Brazilians were dominant in Mallorca and despite a final day wobble in Hyères they came away with gold.
Grael and Kunze held an 18 point lead over Alex Maloney and Molly Meech (NZL) ahead of the three stadium style races and an 8-3-9 score line was enough for them to hold on. The Kiwis won the day with a 6-1-3 score line and reduced the deficit to eight points but they settled for silver.
After racing Grael said,
"We’re not used to the format and we had an 18 points lead so it wasn’t too hard for us. We did pretty bad in the races but we still managed to win. I’m feeling awesome, what can be better than this ?
"I think it’s been the best week the sailors have ever seen in Hyères. We had great wind, weather and I’ve been talking to the old guys and they’ve all said it’s the best week ever. We’re looking forward to coming back here again.”
Ida Marie Baad Nielsen and Marie Thusgaard Olsen (DEN) finished third overall.
