First races in Aarhus

07/07/2025

On Sunday 6 July in Aarhus, Denmark, the iQFOiL World Championship got off to a flying start with a westerly wind blowing at between 12 and 15 knots. Despite a fickle wind, changing both in direction and intensity, four races were launched before the breeze gently died down.

In the women's race, Italy's Marta Maggetti, already Olympic champion in Paris in 2024, confirmed her status by winning from the outset. With two wins, a second place and an eighth place that she was able to shake off, she leads the fleet. Behind her, Israel's Sharon Kantor, world title holder and silver medallist in Paris, and Tamar Steinberg, who has been impressive this season, remain neck and neck and will be looking to play their cards right over the coming days.

On the men's side, the fleet is divided into two groups. The yellow group was able to complete four races, while the blue group will have to reschedule its third interrupted race. In the provisional rankings, Dutchman Luuc van Opzeeland takes first place thanks to some solid results, closely followed by his compatriot Kiran Badloe, former RS:X Olympic champion. Frenchman Tom Arnoux rounded off the podium, and has high hopes for the future.
On Monday, the forecast is for lighter winds, favourable for a slalom format, which promises another great spectacle in Aarhus Bay.
