Vektor 3,177 Posted April 16, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Yay, Berecz won the ECh. Great sign for the Games, he must win that medal in Tokyo, preferably the gold, ofc. We haven't won a sailing Olympic medal in ages, it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,556 Posted April 27, 2021 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Kokkalanis won bronze! In the women's event, our young athlete Katerina Divari got 15th. A good position for her at her age. She is only 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted September 20, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Gold for Odile van Aanholt/Elise de Ruijter, although the main thing of their week is that Van Aanholt is still even there. On day two there was a freak accident on/around their boat: a loose line from a boat close to them swept across their deck and got entangled around her neck. This led to her actually being in a hanging position, same as in the execution method, but by accident. Thank goodness the other boat capsized, which threw Van Aanholt into the water and made her able to free herself, otherwise....yeah.

Makedonas 1,556 Posted November 12, 2021 #20 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It seems that Vasileia Karachaliou (laser radial) will look for another country to represent. She has had a very bad relationship with the Greek sailing federation for many years now and she finally said that it is enough. She just turned 25 a few weeks ago and this year she was 9th in Tokyo and won bronze at the European Championships. http://sportsfeed.gr/dioxnoun-tin-karaxaliou-apo-tin-ellada/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
