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.
Nacra 17
Fernando Echavarri and Tara Pacheco (ESP) completely dominated the Nacra 17 Medal Race, taking the race win by eight seconds to claim gold.
They grabbed the lead from the off and never relinquished it.
"It’s an important win for us,” said Echavarri, a Beijing 2008 Tornado gold medallist, "We’ve only had a short campaign and it’s important to be on top. We were already on the podium but to win is just super.
"We have a short time until Rio 2016 and we have to believe we can do it.”
Italy’s Vittorio Bissaro and Silvia Sicouri came through in second to take silver. Mandy Mulder and Coen do Koning (NED) completed the podium.
Overnight leaders Ben Saxton and Nicola Groves (GBR) went back at the start of the Medal Race as they believed they crossed the line early. They were up against it throughout and clawed their way to seventh. Unfortunately, it was not enough for bronze and they missed out via countback.
