Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]
Hyères threw out its toughest challenge for the final day of racing at the Sailing World Cup with a truly up and down day of the purest form. A breeze in excess of 20 knots came through in the morning with many wondering if there would even be any racing at all. Thunder, lightning, torrential rain and huge winds ensured the Olympic sailors were pushed to their limits.
Finn
Jake Lilley (AUS) described the Finn Medal Race as the hardest of his life. A fair assessment when your national rival is hot on your heels and the the wind conditions are tough to race in.
The Medal Race was tense and hard to judge but the huge Australian got the job done, finishing three points ahead of his compatriot Oli Tweddell to claim gold.
"My heart was definitely on the red line in the whole of that race. There was a lot riding on it. Oli sailed a good event this week and this is part of our Olympic trials. Every race counts.”
Lilley versus Tweddell has been one of the great narratives throughout Sailing World Cup Hyères as their on-going fight for selection has received great interest.
When all is said and done, Lilley’s victory certainly sends out a message, proving he has what it takes
, "Our trials have consisted over a lot of regattas over 18 months which started in Miami last year.
"It’s all inclusive and you have to get a baseline performance to auto qualify. That [baseline] is a top two at a European World Cup or top six at the Worlds. We’ve both done that now by being 1-2 here so it’s going to go to the board of selectors who will decide who the best medal chance is in Rio.”
Caleb Paine (USA) streaked away to take the race victory whilst France’s Jonathan Lobert completed the podium.
