The first edition of the Spain Sail Grand Prix, 124; Andalusia - Cadiz was a great success. About 35,000 attendees filled the Paseo Santa Barbara and another five thousand followed the action from the water to see the F50 that flew over Gaditan waters in a test full of adrenaline and emotion that ended the victory of the Australians led by Tom Slingsby, winner of the two editions of SailGP and an American Cup in 2013, a whole legend of this sport.
The Spanish team, one hundred percent Olympic, is made up of elite athletes who have featured in several competitions such as Copas del Mundo, European Championships and Olympic Games. Despite this, it is the youngest squadron in the competition that has two Olympic medalists in its ranks such as Jordi Xammar and Joan Cardona. In the F50 they are accompanied by Paula Barceló, Florian Trittel, Diego Botin - all of them Olympic diploma in Tokyo 2020 - Joel Rodríguez and Jake Lilley in addition to new female additions such as Nora Brugman, María Cantero and Nicole van der Velden, who will not be on board the F50 Victoria, but will contribute with other internal work.
