The French Olympic Week reduced the curtain with a day of long waiting for the inconsistency of the wind and a slow succession of Medal Races that have left for Spain a fourth place in 49er with Diego Botín and Florian Trittel, a sixth in ILCA 7 with Joaquín Blanco, a seventh in 470 Joint with Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, and a 14 in Formula Kite Feminino with Gisela Polido.

After getting sixth in the Medal Race, Diego Botín and Florian Trittle took up a position in the 49th ranking by finishing the championship in fourth place. The Catalan cantabre crew confirms its position among the international elite despite its recent formation, making use of the experience of both regatists and an excellent adaptation to their new status. The victory was for the Poles Dominik Buksak and Szymon Wierzbicki.

Sixth place for the canary Joaquín Blanco in ILCA 7 after the end of the Medal Race at the 10th place. With this result, Blanco takes a step forward in the international fleet after opening the season with a 13th in the Princess Sofia Trophy. The Cypriot Pavlos Contides, silver in London 2012, was made with victory in the category.

With a fourth place in the Medal Race, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman have not been able to improve their position in the general of 470 Junta, where they end up with a seventh place. The little wind has played against the new Catalan crew that rose with the victory in the Sofia. The Swedish Anton Dahlberg, silver in Tokyo, and Lovisa Karlsson have confirmed their triumph despite being fifth in the Medal Race.

In Formula Kite Feminino, Gisela Polido again accused the lack of wind and its problems with larger comets. The Catalan woman did not get past the Semifinal and ended up at position 14. Pulido has returned to show that he is comfortable with wind and is among the best under these conditions, being the use of large comets a handicap for her. The French Daniela Moroz went up to the first step of the podium signing her second international victory of the season.

With a 15th for the Galician Patricia Suárez and the Canaria María Cantero in 49er FX, the Brazilian Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze were repaid from their second place in the Sofia and claimed their Olympic Gold in Tokyo by rising with the victory.

In ILCA 6, where the best Spanish has been the Catalan Cristina Pujol, 27, the Polish Agata Barwinska was declared mathematically successful before the Medal Race.

Olympic gold in Tokyo, the Italians Tita Ruggero and Caterina Banti have warmed up with the victory in Nacra 17, where the Catalan Iset Segura and the Galician Marcos Fernández has been 27º.

The Singaporean Maximilian Maeder was established in Formula Kite Male, where the Alicantino Alejandro Climent finished 27º.

Penultimate day in French Olympic Week to decide the passes to the Races Medal that will be held tomorrow Saturday. The Spanish sailing team has been classified in four of the eight classes in which it has been represented in this championship: ILCA 7 with Joaquín Blanco, 5th; 49er with Diego Botín and Florian Trittel, 5th; 470 with Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, 6th; and in Formula Kite Women with Gisela Polido, 9th.

In ILCA 7, the canary Joaquín Blanco played strong from the first bars, remaining on the first front of the fleet from the beginning. His general posts have been 6-11-7-5-5. It is also worth noting that, except for a 19, its partials have all been from Top10. In a very tight classification, fourteen points separate him from the first position, in the hands of the German Phillipp Buhl, world champion 2021 and bronze in the Princess Sofia Trophy. The canary Joel Rodríguez has finished at position 14, and the shooting Joan Cardona in 31.

The song Diego Botín and the Catalan Florian Trittel, for whom Hyeres is their second international competition as a crew in 49er, quickly exceeded their fourteenth initial position in the championship, even reaching the provisional podium during the third day, to face tomorrow the Medal from the fifth place, tied to points with the rooms. The class's leaders are Poles Bulsak and Wierzbicki. The second Spanish crew that has sailed in the group Oro, the one formed by the canary Andrés Barrio and the alicantino Antonio Torrado, ends at position 16.

With a single race today in the face of the fall of the wind, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman rise a post on the 470 Joint table to face the Medal Race from the sixth position. The fourth harvest today by the Catalan dupla has been worth the promotion in a general commanded by the Swedish Anton Dahlberg, silver in Tokyo, and Lovisa Karlsson. The balar Maria Bover and the canary Pablo García, second Spanish crew in the group Oro of the class, ends at position 16.

The fall of the wind during the last two days has not played for Gisela Polido in Formula Kite Women. After a fifth initial position, the Catalan regatist has fought to maintain the sixth place defended for three days, but some problems with the comet and failures in crucial decisions lead to the ninth position of the general. This class will sail tomorrow the Medal Series, divided into Semifinal and Final, with the first two classified, American Daniela Moroz and French Lauriane Nolot, with a direct pass to the Final.

With a 15 in general, the galician Patricia Suárez and the canaria María Cantero are left out of the Medal Race in 49er FX, as are the Catalan Iset Segura and the Galician Marcos Fernández who are 27 in Nacra 17 and the Catalan Cristina Pujol who ends 27 in ILCA 6. At Formula Kite Male, the Alicantino Alejandro Climent closes its participation with a 27.

Although the intensity of the wind has today been below the optimal conditions for Gisela Pulido, forcing it to sail with a somewhat larger comet, the Spanish has been able to defend positions and maintains the sixth place of the general in Formula Kite Women.

Good performance by Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman in 470 Mx who climb four posts from 11 to 7, getting into the coveted Top10 that tomorrow will give the pass to the Medal Race. María Bover and Pablo Fernández remain in the 17th place of the Oro group.

Today the coast of Hyeres has failed to honour its reputation and the wind has mattered enough, with an intensity of 7 to 10 knots during the closing races of the Classic Series. After them, the Oro groups are defined in the classes established to compete, tomorrow Thursday and Friday, for one of the first ten places that will give the pass to the Medal Races.

The protagonists of the day are certainly Diego Botín and Florian Trittel who manage to get into the provisional podium of the 49er class with a third place, while Andrés Barrio and Antonio Torrado are in the tenth position.

During today's day, the largest escalation of posts has been starred by Diego Botín and Florian Trittel in 49er, who go up from 13 to 4. Andrés Barrio and Antonio Torrado are the next national crew in the class, which at 6-3-2 yesterday amount to 9-8-13 down to the tenth position.

Gisela Polido, which premiered with a fifth place in Formula Kite Women, has seen a 24-point rise to its markers today after having to maneuver to avoid a collision, which engulfs the rest of the day and causes it to lose a place in the general in which it is located 6th.

In 470 Junta, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman continue to defend their tenth position, with an off-line in the first test that swallows the second place in the second.

In ILCA 7, Spanish participation is still led by Joaquín Blanco, who is now at the door of Top10 at 11. In ILCA 6 the first classified is Cristina Pujol, 42.

In 49er FX, Patricia Suarez and María Cantero are 18; Iset Segura and Marcos Fernández 24 in Nacra 17; Alejandro Climent 27 in Formula Kite Male.

White Joaquin competing in Hyeres

In the waters of Hyeres, France, today the flag of departure of the French Olympic Week has been raised, with 36 Spanish regatists that make up 24 crews, participating in eight categories.

The traditional French event features national athletes in the 470 Mx, 49er, 49er FX, Formula Kite M and F, ILCA 6 and 7 and Nacra 17 classes; all Olympic disciplines except for the iQFoil that follow the iQGames calendar as these are punctuable for the International Ranking.

The premiere of this Olympic Week has been faithful to the reputation of the coast of Hyeres, giving a hard day to the regatists with wind of up to 25 knots in some regatta fields. The programme has been thus intense in compliance with all the planned tests.

Pending the organization to make public the day classifications of all classes, Gisela Polido is fifth in Formula Kite Women, Joaqeuin Blanco sixth in ILCA 7 and in 470 Junta, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman close the Top10 after adding a 9th in the first test.

For tomorrow, the second day of the championship, the forecast advances moderate winds, between 10 and 16 knots. The qualifying series will be extended until Wednesday, with finals scheduled for Thursday and Friday and Medal Races for Saturday.
