Sprint Races await the storm

13/03/2025

On Wednesday, the third day of the iQFOiL International Games #2 in Cadiz, Spain, got underway under grey skies with no wind, causing a delay in the races. In the early afternoon, a light breeze of 10 knots provided ideal conditions for the Sprint Races, with modular formats adapted to winds of less than 15 knots.

The Sprint Races comprise three formats: the Sprint Slalom, the U Sprint, and the Upwind Sprint, each offering varied challenges for the athletes, ensuring dynamism and adaptability even in light wind conditions. The addition of the U Sprint means fewer cancellations and smoother racing.
In the Senior Men's race, Australia's Grae Morris dominated with three wins out of four, while Israel's Tamar Steinberg took the lead in the Senior Women's race, winning three of the day's four races. She finished ahead of Sharon Kantor and Daniela Peleg in an all-Israeli podium.

Kylian Manhaval continued his winning streak in the U19 men's category, winning all the day's races. In the U19 women's race, Yfke Van der Meer remained unbeaten with three wins. The U17s also shone, with Julia Przybyl, Anna Korevaar and Marta Gajdzinska leading the way in the girls‘ race, while Finn Brull, Merlijn Boswijk and Lorenzo Maroadi dominated the boys’ race.
A storm is expected on Thursday with winds of up to 40 knots, threatening to disrupt the final day of qualifying before the Medal Series on Friday.
