Last day of Test Event in Marseille with final races for 49er, 49erFX and iQFOiL Female and Male, where he highlighted one more day Nacho Baltasar. With a fifth place, the young balear regatist makes clear his great projection in the new Olympic class.

The Top5 of Nacho Baltasar is added to the bronze medal obtained in previous days by Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman in 470 and the fifth position of Gisela Polido in Formula Kite Women. In addition, the Spanish team leaves its participation with Top10 posts in 49erFX with a sixth of Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló, in 49er with a seventh of Diego Botín and Florian Trittel, and in iQFOiL Feminino with a ninth of Pilar Lamadrid.

Baltasar finished yesterday the series of fleet races in sixth position, which sealed the pass to the Medal Series that have been disputed today as one of the seven participants in the final rooms. A second position gave him access to the semi-final, in which was imposed the German Sebastian Cordel, with a room for Nacho Baltasar that was thus classified fifth of the general.

With a fifth place in the Medal Race, Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló ended in the sixth position in 49erFX, while Diego Botín and Florian Trittel were tenths in the Medal with a seventh final, and Pilar Lamadrid, with a sixth in the quarter race, was ninth in the iQFOiL Feminino.

2023-07-15: Xammar-Brugman Bronze 470 at the Test Event of Marseilles

Spain will be in the final races of 49er and 49FX and iQFOiL Male and Female

The Marseille Event Test closes its penultimate day with Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman hanging the bronze medal in 470, and will end the competition tomorrow Sunday with Spaniards in all the Races and Medal Series (49er, 49erFX and iQFOiL Male and Female).

The 470 Race Medal was fast and hard, with 17-20 knots of wind and short wave. Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman have not lived their luckiest race, fighting against conditions that have not made things easy for them. With an eighth place in the Medal, the Spaniards have hung themselves a well-deserved bronze, more than showing the high possibilities of the Spanish crew for the Hague World Championship next August.

The rise of the wind has catapulted to national teams of the skiff categories. In 49er, great dating from Diego Botín and Florian Trittel, who fire the series of fleet races with a first and rise from the ninth to the fifth place after adding a 3-8-1. Equally fruitful has been the day for Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló. The girls of the 49th FX have not come off the provisional podium in any of the contested sleeves, with a 2-2-3 that leads them to the sixth position of the classification. For both classes, the double-score Medal Race will be held tomorrow among the top ten classified. The Dutch are now in charge of both classifications, with Bart Lambriex and Floris going from Werken as leaders in 49er, and Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz in 49erFX.

Nor do the Spanish in iQFOiL Male and Female. On the one hand, Pilar Lamadrid has raised to his marker today a good bouquet of Top5 results: 3-24DNF-6-4-6-4, moving from the sixth to the fifth position. And on the other hand the great revelation of this Test Event, Nacho Baltasar, which continues to stay up and after a 22-4-12-7-6-5 remains in the sixth square. The two regatists of the Spanish Olympic team will be in the Medal Series tomorrow, consisting of quarter finals, semi-finals and final.

From the fifth and sixth places, both enter the final rooms, whose first and second classified will face in the semi-final the second and third of today's general. It will be the first two of this semifinal that will fight the podium in front of the first one classified in the fleet races: the Israeli Sharon Kantor and the French Nicolas Goyard.

2023-07-14: Top5 for Gisela Polished in the Test Event of Marseilles

Sixth day of Test Event in the waters of Marseille with the end of competition for the Kite Formula and fifth position for Gisela Polido. The day has been dominated by soft breezes that have not exceeded 11 knots down to seven in the afternoon.

The Formula Kite say good-bye to Marseilles after today's Medal Series, which Gisela Pulido had access to from the fifth place in the General. After a quick Semifinal A in which the American Daniela Moroz obtained the pass to the Grand Final, Pulido began the day in the Semifinal B.

In the first match, the German Leonie Meyer won, adding her first victory against the two that she brought as a profit the Chinese Jinyue Chen and one of Gisela Polido for her positions on the last general table. The Spanish victory in the second round matched the markers between her and Jinyue Chen, announcing a third exit.

This time the Chinese set distance and qualified for the Grand Final, while Pulido closed its participation in the Test Event with the fifth position. The gold has been for French Lauriane Nolot. Among the boys, the Spanish Bernat Cortes finished yesterday at the 16th, and the winner of the Grand Final today was French Axel Mazella.

After 7: 00 in the afternoon the iQFOiL left the race field after fighting four tests in both the male and female fleet. The Balar Nacho Baltasar continues to fight among the largest of the international cartel, and today it recovers the fourth position of the general who is still led by French Nicolas Goyard.

Pilar Lamadrid has gone from less to more by signing a 14-10-2-3 partial, allowing him to stay in the sixth position of a Top10 in which the promotion is sold very expensive. The British Emma Wilson is in charge of the classification.

There are still three races in the program for Diego Botín and Florian Trittel to climb positions in the 49th Top10, in which they are now in ninth position. With an off-line, the Spaniards have not had a good start today, to which they have added a 14-19.

The ILCA have completed their fleet race program and will be playing tomorrow Saturday the Medal Race, with a Top10 led by Dutch Marit Bouwmeester in ILCA 6 which, with 21 points of advantage, already has gold secured, and by British Michael Beckett in ILCA 7. The Spanish Ana Moncada and Joaquín Blanco have finished at posts 32 and 14 respectively.

Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, who leave from the second place of the general, only one point from the first, in the hands of the French Camille Lecointre and Jeremie Mion.

Full day in Marseilles to fight the fifth day of the Test Event, last of tests for the Kite Formula that tomorrow will fight the Medal Series with Gisela Polido in the Semifinal.

The wind seems to come to terms on the French Mediterranean coast and, except for small postponements and variations in intensity, has allowed the development of all scheduled tests with an average force of 15-17 knots. Today it was the 49er who had a rest day.

Together with the 49erFX, the 470 will have their day of rest tomorrow before the class's Medal Race dispute on Saturday 15. On a day of irregular results for both them and their most immediate rivals, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman account for a 6-7 that places them in the second position of the general, behind the French Lecointre / Mion.

Only one point reseparates them, with a good margin of 11 to the third classified, the Germans Winkel / Winkel. From there, the numbers are tightened and the other eight opponents in the Medal are in a 12-point range. The gold is within reach of the Spanish crew, but there is no doubt that this Medal Race deserves to be seen.

The Kite Formula have also completed their last series of races, deciding with them the Top10 that tomorrow will fight the Medal Series. Among the girls, Gisela Pulido has recovered positions in fifth place after the four sleeves performed. In this way, the Catalan regatist will sail tomorrow in one of the two Semifinals, starting with a victory of advantage.

Of the four participants in each Semifinal, the first to add three wins will go to the Grand Final, in which the French Lauriane Nolot and the British Eleanor Aldridge already have a place, as the first and second the general. In the Men's Division, Bernat Cortés is now finishing his participation in the Test Event at position 16 of the classification.

The iQFOiL today had a "long" day with the "Marathon" tour on their program. After their dispute, with a wind of up to 17-18 knots, the fleets have had a well-deserved and necessary rest to add two more tests to their markers. Nacho Baltasar adds an 8-11-5, compared to what the good work of his rivals, much more in international competitions than the youth shooting, has brought him down to the fifth position. Pilar Lamadrid, with an 8 - (18) -8, recovers a position in the general and is sixth.

In 49erFX, Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló today have lived the face and cross of the coin. After a crushing victory in the first race of the day, the Galician-Balear crew crossed the line of arrival of the second manga in a penultimate position, and in the third he suffered a turn that prevented him from going beyond post 19. However, the Spanish dupla is kept in the Top10 of the class, in the tenth place, with the view placed on the remaining tests to recover positions and ensure the pass to the Sunday Medal Race.

The ILCA classes have now returned to the race field after the day of rest, with two races disputed in both ILCA 6 and ILCA 7. After them, Joaquín Blanco is in 14th position and Ana Moncada is in 29th.

2023-07-12: Xammar--Brugman regains leadership at the Test Event in Marseilles

The wind is now again leading in the Bay of Marseille, marking the pace of the Test Event with postponements, pressure falls and high tension in the fleet in the equator of the championship. Of the Spanish crews, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman are again among the most prominent after recovering the leadership position in 470.

With the ILCA 6 and 7 on a rest day, seven were today the classes with Spanish participation in the race field. The instability in the intensity of the wind, with strong falls, has accompanied the approach of a front that made an act of presence during the afternoon, culminating in a day stirred with complicated races.

The 470 were listening to the first day's start of the day just an hour after the planned one, starting a test in which Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman were willing to make a difference with the French Lecointre and Mion. Everything was going as planned and the Spaniards sailed in the head group, leaving the French slack to their stern, when the wind fell forced the ongoing test to be overturned. It starts again and this time, the Catalan crew scored a 14 that it ruled out, but saw how their maximum rivals took away in the classification. The Spaniards reacted with a strong first that raised them to the first position, although the day was again closed in tables with the French, resolving this time the tie in favor of the national team.

The iQFOiL were scheduled for a long day with six sleeves for each division that has been equally long but with only one race. Among the boys, Nacho Baltasar has resigned a Top5 result while maintaining the fourth general position and increasingly approaching the podium, from which now only two points are separated. At the age of 18, the balear regatist is standing out as one of the great revelations of this Test Event. In the female fleet, the sudden fall of the wind caused several regatists to be unable to end within the established time. It was the case of Pilar Lamadrid who, by adding the highest score, goes down to the seventh place of the general.

The 49er have danced today to a wind that has not exceeded 10 knots in their field of races. The sum of three new tests and the entry into play of the discard cannot undo the knot in which the fleet's head is located, with Diego Botín and Florian Trittle defending their sixth position and scratching points towards the podium. The Fantela brothers (Croatia) lose the lead that passes to the New Zealanders McHardie / McKenzie, tied with the Swiss Schneiter / Planta. The Catalan cantabre crew is just two points from the bronze.

The galician-balar dupla of Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló see how their results are crippled by weather conditions of ups and downs in which they are not able to deploy their full potential. After adding today a 14-7-11 hold the eighth position in the Top10 of the 49erFX.

At Formula Kite, only three tests were held for the girls and two for the boys. With a 2-7-4, Gisela Polido maintains the fifth position of the General conquered yesterday, while Bernat Cortés ascends a position and is thirteenth.

2023-07-11: Lamadrid Pilar starts with strength in the Test Event of Marseilles

Lamadrid opens his partition in Marseilles with a second place in female iQFOiL... Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman hold second position at 470 tied with the first

Long day at the Test Event in Marseille, with all the classes sailing and wind conditions that have complicated the day to regatists and organization... the tests held are taken with a second place for Pilar Lamadrid in iQFOiL as most outstanding national results.

Lamadrid opened his marker with a first forceful, followed by a 2- (12) -3 that took him to the second step of the first provisional podium of the class. The British Emma Wilson is three points away from the Spanish. The male fleet also closes the day with good sensations. The Nacho Baltasar Ballet is fourth, five points away from the three-way head of the French President Nicolas Goyard.

In 470 the tension is great... in a fleet where the level is very equal and the errors are not forgiven. The Catalans Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman again took the lead of the table after the first race, but the second brought a tie with the French Lecointre / Mion that was resolved in favour of them for better result in the last sleeve.

In 49er, the leaders Sime and Mihovil Fantela (CRO), six small points with a triple tie at posts two, three and four. In 49erFX, Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló did not have a good debut in Marseille. A penalty in the first race shaded the second and the nine with which, literally, they closed the field of races for today, leaving the Galician crew to shoot at the eight of the table. The American Roble / Shea take the first laurels of a championship that promises to be held back.

A few minutes before the 49erFX, the Kite Formula finished the tests of the day, with three out of six performed for the girls and three out of five for the boys. The Catalan Gisela Pulido achieved a 2-4-3 ascend to the fifth position, as did Catalan Bernat Cortés from the 16th to the 14th.

Few variations in the ILCA, among which the canary Joaquín Blanco is placed in the tenth position in ILCA 7, and the Andalusian Ana Moncada is vigésimonvena in ILCA 6.

With a 4- (6) on their today's markers, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman give by one point the leadership position of 470 to the German couple Malte Winkel and Anastasia Winkel. Both crews are marking distances with their persecutors, having three points from the Spanish to the American McNay and Dellam-Weiss.

The female Kite Formula have finally been able to start their markers after yesterday's blank day due to a lack of wind, with five sleeves disputed today. Gisela Polido has started with a 14 that discards to continue with a 7-5-7-9 that lead to the ninth position of the general. The French Lauriane Nolot takes the first fart of leader after three partial wins. With the same number of races held today, in Formula Kite Male Bernat Cortés is sixteenth, with French Axel Mazella staying in the first position.

As for the ILCA class, excellent dating from the canary Joaquín Blanco in ILCA 7, ascending from position 18 to 11 of the table, to the doors of Top10, where the British Michael Beckett is still in front. In ILCA 6 Ana Moncada is down from 12 to 26. The Lithuanian Vikrorja Andrulyte, who yesterday was seventh, is now taking the first position in a tight classification.

Tomorrow the rest of the classes will be on stage, with the first races for the 49er, 49er FX and iQFOil Male and Female.

2023-07-09: Good start of the Spanish regatists at the Test Event in Marseilles

Xammar and Brugman lead the 470 class at the Test Event... 470, ILCA 6 and 7 and Formula Kite Male raise the curtain of the competition with brilliant performance by Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman

The waters of Marseilles, which will be the Olympic regatta field in Paris 2024, now host the Test Event, with a brilliant premiere of the Spanish Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman who start as leaders of the 470 class.

With a 2-1 in its markers, the Catalan dupla formed by Xammar and Brugman begins by marking territory in front of the American Stuart McNay, second to three points. The wind conditions in the race field assigned to the class have shrunk the 11 knots without falling from the 9.

Two have also been the races played by ILCA 6 and 7. The Andaluza Ana Moncada faces a sixth place in the second manga of the day to a 26 in the first, which places it in the 13th place of the general who leads the Dutch Marit Bouwmeester. In ILCA 7, Joaquín Blanco is 18th with a 23-16, in a classification led by British Michael Beckett.

In the face of the fall of the wind, the boys of Formula Kite Male have been able to celebrate only one race of the four planned for today. In it, the Spanish Bernat Cortés has been 15th and the French Axel Mazella has been in the head of the classification.

The worst part of the day is taken by the participants in Formula Kite Feminino, among which is the Spanish Gisela Pulido, who have not been able to contest any race due to lack of wind.

The Marseilles Test Event program, a keynote for the Hague Olympic Class World (August), and the Paris 2024 JJOO essay, will continue tomorrow Monday with tests for the 470 classes, Formula Kite Male and Female and ILCA 6 and 7. The 49er, 49er FX and iQFOiL will start sailing on Tuesday 11.
