Marseille, France (July 29, 2024) – All four events on the schedule at the Paris 2024 Olympics – Men’s and Women’s Skiff and Men’s and Women’s Windsurfing – completed races today, but temperatures up to 86°F and low winds continued for the second day of competition. While the heat is expected to remain, more wind is in the upcoming forecast.

Men’s and Women’s Windsurfing:
Today saw the first ever slalom races in the history of Olympic sailing. A bit more wind in Marseille opened the window for some short-course downwind competition in the Windsurfing.
Unfortunately, the weather window didn’t stay open for very long, but in the Men, France’s Nicolas Goyard powered his iQFOiL board to victory in the one and only heat that took place. In the Women, event favorite from Great Britain, Emma Wilson, scored a first and second in two heats to take the early lead.
North America Results:
Men:
5. Noah Lyons (USA)
Women:
9. Mariana Aguilar Chavez Peon (MEX)
18. Dominique Stater (USA)
Men’s and Women’s Skiff:
Three more races in the Men’s and Women’s Skiff takes them pretty much to the halfway stage of the regatta. With predominantly light winds, the conditions seems to be suiting the New Zealanders, Isaac McHardie and Will McKenzie very nicely in the 49er Men.
Of the six races completed, the Kiwis have won three of them, and the only other team to keep all their scores inside the top 10 are the Irish in second place.
Yet to win a race but sailing solidly and chipping away are the Spanish, Diego Botin and Florian Trittel, who have climbed up to third, albeit they’re nine points back on the Irish.
As for the Germans, well if any national Olympic committee is wondering whether or not it’s worth sending a team that barely looks worthy of the place, then take a look at Jakob Meggendorfer and Andreas Spranger…
