The menorquin was in the second position of the general after five days of competition in Slovenia

Balar regatist Joan Cardona has proclaimed himself a junior world champion of the Finn Olympic class at the Silver Cup in Kloper, Slovenia. Cardona highlighted among the four Spanish representatives who went to the youth world after five days of race, the last day being a day in white due to lack of wind.

The competition started last Monday August 27 with not very good sensations for Cardona, who opened his locker with an 11 + 11. The second day of competition was characterized by the little wind and only a sleeve in which the shooting took advantage to remount positions with a third in the test of the day could be disputed.

Wednesday marked the turning point for Cardona. The Menorcan regatist recorded a partial of 3 + 1 + 6 and finished the third day in the second position of the general, as he defended on Thursday with a 1 + 6 + 2. On Friday, the last day of competition, the instability of the wind, which blew with a few seven knots of force, did not allow any manga to be fought and Cardona could not fight for the gold medal. The victory was for Ondrej Teach, who coined a nine-point advantage over Cardona.

In the Silver Cup, a young world of the Finn class, a total of four Spanish regatists, accompanied by coach Giorgio Poggi, competed. In addition to Cardona's silver, the Valencian Jorge Navarro was the second best Spanish and ended up in the 24th place of the general, followed by Catalan Carlos Ordoñez, twenty-fifth. For its part, the Andalusian Andrés Lloret concluded his participation in the youth world at position 30 of the general ranking.
