And here is the article about Allan Julie from Seychelles who wants to qualify in Finn even though he has only been training Finn for two weeks. He is a four time Olympian, but in Laser.

Interesting. Julie lost the fight to qualify in the laser to his compatriot. The finn class is a bit different, yet similar enough that a person can transition to it. If he had more time to train I would call him the favourite. I guess we'll know once the races begin.

Talk about the free quotas for Algeria!

Egypt is also competing in Nacra 17. So we have 3 African nations.

Our women's 49er FX crew will have a very difficult task, even though they showed a big improvement at the last year's World Championships. I have also already assumed that African quota would be reallocated to Ireland, what would make our qualification a bit easier, but looks like Algeria denied that.

 

On the other hand, it will be a huge dissapointment if we don't qualify in men's RS:X. It's too easy, 2 quotas for only 7 nations (and that includes Latvia, Slovakia and Turkey). And I also expected that we would qualify in men's RS:X before this regatta...
