Agger 1,587 Posted February 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Day one, no racing due to winds. Styrka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,587 Posted February 11, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Finally some racing with 3 races per class. A frustrating BFD for Ida and Marie while the 2 other races were good. No disaster but less room for bad results now. The Danish Olympic spot seems pretty certain for Linn and CP in the Nacra while it's still a tight battle in the other 2 classes.

CCB 444 Posted February 11, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Dutch World Champions Bekkering/Duetz didn't have a great start either. They already collected a lot of points. Third world title in a row is not very likely anymore. At the men's side Bos/van Vugt still fighting for an Olympic place. NOC decided they have to finish top 6 at least. After this first day they are 4th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,587 Posted February 12, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Warrer/Precht getting pretty close to the Danish 49er spot after some advancement. Meanwhile the 49er FX race is damn close after both boats advanced. Right now Schütt/Nielsby is 2 positions in front of Baad/Thusgaard, but it's just a couple of points that need to change there for Ida and Marie to take it back. They cannot afford much more mistakes after their black flag and an 18 in the last race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EselTheDonkey 651 Posted February 12, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Sorry, for the stupid Question, but they have again World Championships in these disciplines? Weren't the last ones like two months ago? Edited February 12, 2020 by EselTheDonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
