The wind is back in Aarhus

09/07/2025

After a day of waiting ashore on Monday, the third day of the iQFOiL World Championship in Denmark is offering ideal conditions, with winds ranging from 8 to 14 knots. The competitors, both men and women, are taking advantage of this favourable weather to put on a series of spectacular races, marking the halfway point in the competition.

The day began with races in the Upwind Sprint format, fast seven-minute events. The women took part in five races, while the men raced three before moving on to the Course Race. The men's blue group also took the opportunity to resume a race abandoned on the first day.
In the men's race, Frenchman Tom Arnoux leads by 15 points, followed by 2020 Olympic champion Kiran Badloe and another Frenchman, Nicolas Goyard. Italy's Nicolò Renna, the reigning world champion, and Luuc van Opzeeland remain in the hunt.

On the women's side, Israel's Sharon Kantor, the reigning world champion and silver medallist at Paris 2024, shone by winning all five of the day's races, opening up a 13-point gap. Germany's Theresa Steinlein and fellow Israeli Tamar Steinberg rounded off the provisional podium, while England's Emma Wilson climbed to fourth place.
On Wednesday, the wind is set to pick up, with the first start at 2pm. The fleets will be divided into Gold and Silver groups, promising even closer duels.
