Sailing WS World Championships 2023

So it looks like both Australia and New Zealand qualified in Men's iQFoil, Men's ILCA 7 and Women's 49erFX so big opportunity for Pacific nations. Of course it's more likely the Oceania quotas will be reallocated in the iQFoil and 49erFX

so, being Today a very sad day for me personally and a disastrous day for the Italian sport, we ended up with the minimum result (the men's windsurf bronze medal, already guaranteed since a couple of days) in terms of medals

 

on the other hand, we really can't complain for the 7 OQPs, which is more or less the number we expected with good optimism before the championship started

 

so, great tournament on average, just missing something at the top

 

hopefully, we'll get next year in Marseille what the bad luck took off from us this week

my 2 cents on Kitesurfing...

 

it might be fun to watch (for somebody, not for me), but it has nothing to do with sailing...it shouldn't be part of the Olympic schedule 

 

on the other hand, it must be noticed how  Shahar Tibi just 2 years ago was competing in the women's Dinghy (470) in Tokyo and now she's the new World Championship on the board (iQFoiL Windsurfing)   

that's really amazing, one of the most memorable sporting efforts of the last decade for sure

You're right. Thought I added Germany, but I guess not.
