Xammar, bronze in Tokyo 2020, has won with Brugman the world subchampionship of one of the new Olympic sailing modalities

Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman have starred in a film show in the 470 World Championship that has led them to win the silver medal. A subchampionship that places the Spanish team as one of the most pointed tannems of the new Olympic mode. In addition, today's medal in Israel is added to this year's European subchampionship.

After the Tokyo Olympic Games, in which Xammar won bronze with Nicolás Rodríguez, the 470 class they were sailing on became mixed. This forced the national dupla to look for new projects to compete for a new Olympic medal.

In early 2022 Jordi Xammar announced that he continued in the Olympic race and that he did so with Nora Brugman, Jordi's childhood friend and great regatist of the class. From the very first moment they stood out as a crew of guarantees, eager to conquer the precious Olympic gold.

The first test of the Catalan crew was the Princess Sofia Trophy in Mallorca, the most important Olympic sailing race in the world and in which they were made with victory. From here on, expectations were set, but the team continued to work the same way, leaving out external pressures and with the clear path: to reach Paris 2024 step by step.

The Spanish crews of Silvia Mas and Nico Rodríguez have also taken part in this championship, which have ended in the 12th place of the general, and María Bover and Pablo García in the 22nd.

2022-10-28: Xammar and Brugman... alone before the medals in the World Cup of Israel

Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman will be the only Spanish crew in the 470 World Championship Medal Race, fighting for a medal from the fourth position of the table

The 470 World Championship will uncover tomorrow the winning podium after the celebration of the Medal Race, in which the crew formed by the Catalans Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman who close the Final Series with a fourth place will sail. Silvia Mas and Nico Rodríguez end up in 12 and María Bover and Pablo García in 22.

The penultimate day of navigation in the waters of Sdot Yam, Israel, has had a brighter wind than in previous days and a very compact fleet that has fought in the two tests held to scratch points on the table and reach the Top10 of the Medal Race who had it within reach.

In the case of the Spanish crews, the team formed by the Mallorcan María Bover and the Galician Pablo García left without options to achieve that goal, despite which he has not failed to show that he has a level to fight in the Oro group of a world as connived as this, closing his locker with a 6-7 that lead them to the 22 of the general.

The Catalan Silvia Mas and the Galician Nico Rodríguez finished the first sleeve with a sixteenth, keeping the eighth position on the provisional table. In the closing race they crossed the exit line with force and sailed in the head group, a position that they would lose over the first stretch to finally end at post 25. Despite dismissing this last result, their final score left them out of the desired Top10, at 12, four points from the Medal Race.

With a (18) -13 in the last two races, the Catalans Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman arrive at the Medal Race in the fourth place of the general. Seven points from the French Lecointre / Mion, second, and one of the French Pacaud / Gennes, third, follow to one point the German Diesch / Markfort.

In position 28, the team of Maria Bover and Pablo García, who are competing with their partners in the gold group of this 470 world championship, is maintained.

2022-10-25: The World Cup of 470 begins in Israel with a lot of fun for the Spaniards

The first day of the World Championship ends with Mas / Rodríguez in the head of the Spanish participation with the sixth provisional position

As planned, the 470 World Championship has started today in the waters of Sdot Yam, Israel, with three races disputed after which Silvia Mas and Nico Rodríguez are the first Spanish in the sixth place. Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman are 13th and María Bover and Pablo García are 30th.

The classification, led by the German Luise Wansel and Philipp Autenrieth remains very compact, with few differences in points. Thus, four points separate the crew of Mas and Rodríguez from the position of leader, and only one from the third step of the podium. For Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, the distance with the bronze medal is six points, to nine of gold.

Under conditions of between 10 and 15 knots of wind, the organization has been able to easily dispute the three tests planned for today's day, in which Mas and Rodríguez signed a 4- 3- (15); Xammar and Brugman premiered with a strong second position to which they would follow a (13) -10; and Bover and Garcia signed a 9- (16) -11.

The Spaniards hope to be able to tune their results tomorrow to scale up positions in the classification and achieve the best positions before the Final Series starts with the fleet divided into Gold and Silver groups.
