Bad luck for Paula Barceló to miss Auckland's date

The athlete of the 49erFX class Paula Barceló, a crew member of Tamara Echegoyen, has suffered an injury during a training in New Zealand, where the world title for the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra17 classes will be launched in early December.

Paula Barceló has been operated on Tuesday day, due to a fracture of the base of the fifth Metatarsian produced while sailing. As soon as the medical team of doctors Josele Dorete and the foot surgery expert, Dr. Eugenio Jimeno, from the ICATME medical centre, considers it appropriate to begin their rehabilitation immediately.
