The French Olympic Week collaboration with Virtual Regatta is back! And we’re offering an event open to everyone on Virtual Regatta Inshore. This year, French Olympic Week will take place on May 6, 7, and 8.
The final day of the 56th edition of French Olympic Week (Semaine Olympique Française de Hyères – Toulon Provence Méditerranée) saw Italy join China at the top of the medal table as they won a medal of every colour across the six Medal Races after China’s exploits on Friday.
On a day of high pressure - in all senses - and drama in all the Medal series, team power and individual brilliance produced some of the closest board Finals in Hyères history.
The other six Olympic fleets - 470, ILCA 6 & 7, Nacra 17, 49er, and FX - have their Medal Races tomorrow - Saturday - in what are forecast to be more easterly, but similarly light breeze. Barring an overnight protest and penalty in the 470 mixed dinghy, Germany’s Simon Diesch & Anna Markfort are uncatchable with a 21-point lead and Nicholas Halliday the same in the ILCA 7 with a 23-point lead.
Day 4 • iQFoil and Formula Kite Medal Races on Friday • Israel vs China in the women’s windsurfing (iQFoil) • 18 year-old Max Maeder in pole position in the Kite On a day in which fortunes shifted as much as the winds, French Olympic Week will have its first Medal Races on Friday as the top 8 men and women kitesurfers and windsurfers battle it out for the podium. The other six of the ten Olympic classes will have their Medal Races on Saturday with all to sail with some incredibly close leaderboards.
