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
Men’s 470
After their unbeaten run was ended at ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami, Mat Belcher and Will Ryan (AUS) returned to winning ways in the Men’s 470 at the final ISAF Sailing World Cup regatta of the 2013-2014 series.
Belcher and Ryan took silver in Miami and bronze in Mallorca and are back atop of the podium.
The Australians had a 17 point lead going into the Medal Race and with a fifth they sealed the deal,
"It wasn’t our best race,” commented Ryan. "It was quite tricky conditions but we knew we had to stay in front of the Greeks and the French.
"Off the start we managed to get in a good position and from there we protected where we were with the jury on us at the top mark. We were back on track after that and we’re really happy. It’s been a pretty long week and to come down today with not too much pressure was quite a nice way to do it.”
For Ryan the result has extra significance as he concluded,
"It’s quite special for me because all my family are over here. My sisters are competing and the parents are over. So it’s really nice to do well and hopefully we can carry the momentum through the year.
"It’s been a beautiful week here in Hyères with beautiful conditions and perfect sailing.”
Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis (GRE) finished one point ahead of Sofian Bouvet and Jeremie Mion (FRA) as the two teams took silver and bronze.
The Medal Race bullet went to Germany’s Jan-Jasper Wagner and Dustin Baldewein.
