Foilstyle and a great event in Vieste

15/06/2023

The second major event of the season on the Freestyle Pro Tour saw some of the world's best freestylers gather in Vieste, Italy. There was foilstyle for the men, classic freestyle for the women and clear wins for Yentel Caers and Maaike Huvermann!

After Austria from 28th April to 1st May, the Freestyle Pro Tour stopped in Vieste, Italy from 7th to 11th June for its 2nd Continental Series event of the season. Freestyle was on the programme, but a major innovation was the arrival of foilstyle (a contraction of foil and freestyle), a discipline that allows you to validate an event in light wind conditions.
After a first day with light winds, the foilstyle discipline was put to the test on Thursday, with Yentel Caers winning the single elimination ahead of Lennart Neubauer. Stevan Van Broekchoven, who is very comfortable in this style, finished 3rd ahead of Sam Esteve.

After a calm day on Friday, the wind returned on Saturday for the double elimination, again in foil. Efficient and hard hitting, Yentel Caers was once again up against Lennart Neubauer, who was unable to make the difference...
Predicted to be the windiest day of the event, Sunday saw a single elimination in the women's freestyle, won by Maaike Huvermann ahead of Lisa Kloster. The wind died down quickly and the men's elimination was not completed. The freestylers had to make do with their results in foilstyle, the 1st event of its kind, which showed real potential for the future.
