Their bet to win led them to disappointment (Photo capture TVE)

Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman finished the 'Medal Race' in a ninth position that left them just below the medals in the category of 470 mixed, 4th. The world champions suffered a lot in buoys, where traffic did not allow them to increase their speed to overcome the Austrian couple, who took the gold.

Xammar and Brugman arrived at the Medal Race with options to improve the bronze of Tokyo 2020: seconds in the general classification. But everything was ruined in the final race, which was postponed this Wednesday by the unstable wind.

After an exit from which they left in eighth place, the Catalan couple was made difficult to pass through buoys, where they had to deal with traffic and only added 18 points, which led them to the fourth position of the general (49 points). The aspirations of the second sailing medal have gone away. Xammar and Brugman were overcome by the Japanese couple, who was silver and celebrated it with effusivity, and the Swedish, who was bronze.

The candle enters the final line of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 and does so with the worst of weather forecasts, low and inconstant wind in the Bay of Marseilles, with which today two of the three tests planned in 470 have been disputed, only one of the five scheduled for Formula Kite female, and the three planned for Nacra 17, in extreme and with change of field of regats included. Nor have the Medal Races of ILCA 6 and 7, without a Spanish presence, been held, which are postponed for tomorrow Wednesday.

The Austrians Lara Vadlau and Lukas Maehr, the Spaniards Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman, the Japanese Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka and the Swedes Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson will fight with this order to reach one of the three at stake, with all possibilities open. For Xammar and Brugman, the fan ranges from gold to fifth place.

Tara Pacheco and Andrés Barrio have stayed at the door of entering tomorrow's Medal Race, four points, after today's 20 off-line, 16 and 6.

Second day with a single race for the female Kite Formula, disputed with 7 knots of wind and in which Gisela Polido has finished in the 10th place, which places it 12th of the provisional classification, three points from the Top10. There has been an attempt to carry out a second test, in which Pulido made third progress when the committee has decided to override it.

After the third day of race for the 470 Junta in the waters of Marseille, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman have recovered the second place of the provisional general in the Olympic Games, with a sixth and a third in their lockers of the day.

The 470 class was the first to begin its program today and the first to conclude it, when the rest of the fleets continued to wait to start the day. The 470 have sailed in the most external race field of the Bay of Marseille and have again had the north-west wind, the Mistral of the area, but much lighter, with about 7-9 knots of intensity. The wind's instability in direction and intensity has marked today's race tactic, rewarding the crews that have reacted to their changes.

The Spaniards today have added 6-3 partials that maintain their markers with excellent regularity, with the sixth as the worst position, which gives them the best discards of the entire fleet, that is, they have a margin of manoeuvre with which they do not have the rest of the equipment at the pass of the equator of the Games, with two days classified to be disputed before the Medal Race.

In the race field, Xammar and Brugman have again shown a solid navigation, always at the top. His strategy has been conservative in the dyeing, in order to avoid taking risks, and in the props of the stern they have had their greatest advantage to advance and recover positions.

The Austrians Lara Vadlau and Lukas Maehr are now made with the provisional leadership, followed by the Spanish, at four points. The Japanese Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka go down to third position after adding their worst day, while the Swedish Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson, who have also added a pinch, are located in rooms.

2024-08-03: Sailing Paris 2024... Bottom-Trittel achieve the sailing gold in 49er

The Cantabro- Catalan duo had never won a race together (captured image of the live RTVE broadcast)

Diego Botín and Florian Trittel lived the most important day of their sports life by winning gold in 49er at the Olympic Games: the first golden metal of the Spanish delegation in Paris 2024. The flag of Spain waved from the lead of the test throughout the race.

The morning was sunrise with 10-12 knots. A sign for the Spanish duo, which was moving perfectly in that interval, despite never having achieved a victory together. But that was history. The CantabroCatalan duo won the most important and meeting expectations, always from the lead and persecuted by the Dutch dupla of Bart Lambriex (timonel) and Floris van der Werken (crew) at about 20 seconds in each step. The bronze was for New Zealand.

The cries of joy flooded the 49th Spanish just after crossing the line of arrival. The hugs and the euphoria of Botín and Trittel lay down the boat for a celebration bath in the waters of the Marines of Marseille, which lived a historic day, postponed from this Thursday due to lack of wind. The Spanish candle has had to wait patiently for 12 years until the gold has been hung again.

The 49th class Medal Race had to be cancelled on up to two occasions due to poor wind conditions, which did not allow the test to be disputed under conditions. This led the president of the Regatas Committee, the Spanish Ariane Mainemare, to decide to stop even twice the Medal Race, as the wind on both occasions fell to almost disappear.

This makes Diego Botín and Florian Trittel have to wait for tomorrow's day to fight the Medal Race that can give them the medal. The Spanish ship is a leader of the general with five points of advantage over the Irish Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove and twelve over the rooms, the Americans Ian Barrows and Hans Henken.

Maána is replanned the Medal Race from 13: 10... Botín and Trittel are worth winning the gold to finish third in the Medal Race and to medal a sixth in the final.

2024-07-31: Sailing Paris 2024... Diego Botín-Florian Trittel arrive at the chief's medal

A sixth place in the medal would reach the Spanish dupla to achieve a metal

They are getting closer and Diego Botín and Florian Trittel have taken a giant step to get the first medal for the Spanish candle at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Cantabrian-Catalan crew are already leaders of the general in the 49er class and not only that, but they have opened an important gap over the rest of the participants, so thinking that Thursday can hang the gold is no utopia. Three sleeves and a Medal Race separate them from glory.

On this Wednesday's day they left three third points of bronze and after three spectacular positions, they ended the day with eleven points on the second, the Irish Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove and fifteen on the New Zealanders Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie. These are the ones who are in medal positions, since with the rooms, the British James Peters and Fynn Sterrit are already nineteen points, so this is already major words and to keep these differences after Thursday's day, Botín and Trittel would have the medal secured before they disputed the Medal Race.

The ones who definitely said goodbye to the medals were in FX Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló that they did not manage to reassemble, and although they did a 13-7-4 are thirteenth and their aspiration is at least, to be able to enter the Medal Race, to which the first ten access.

In iQFoil, Nacho Baltasar no longer started well the day with problems in his foil, and after a discreet day he occupies the tenth third position after performing a 13-10-17-11. The shooting knows that if you enter the final your options will remain intact to try to assault the medals.

Pilar Lamadrid has lost the edge and occupies the tenth square after a 14-12-14-20, which cause the first partial position he got on the day of his premiere to be diluted.

2024-07-30: Sailing Paris 2024... Diego Botín-Florian Trittel are already leaders

Tomorrow Wednesday, last day for the 49th and 49th FX before the Medal Race

Diego Botín and Florian Trittel are the new leaders of the 49er fleet in Paris 2024. The Spaniards today signed their best day, with some 3-2-2 partials, who place them at the front of the table and with 11 points of advantage over their immediate persecutors, the Irish Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove. The distance over New Zealanders Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie, who have had their worst day today and have gone down to the third square, is up to 15 points.

The Spanish crew of 49er FX, formed by Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barceló, has starred in another day of struggle and rallied. With a partial of 13-7-5, they are placed in the tenth position of the provisional general, 13 points from the top ten that will be classified for the Medal Race.

The technical problems today marked the day of Nacho Baltasar, Spanish representative in the male iQFOil class. Yesterday the Spanish highlighted for marking the highest speeds of the fleet, and today it has started by adding a fifth place in the first race of the day, after an exit in which most of the participants have had difficulties in foliating, including Baltasar. This new digit in the markers allowed him to ascend to the sixth place of the general.

Pilar Lamadrid was starting the day at the first tenth, after the view of yesterday's protest for the New Zealand approach ended with a disqualified for both regatists. Today the Spanish has added a partial of 24-14-12-14-20 which place it in the eighth place of the provisional classification.

2024-07-29: Sailing Paris 2024... Diego Botín-Florian Trittel are placed third parties

Botín-Tritel are already in podium in the waters of Marseilles

The Spanish Olympic sailing team lived a good day on Monday in the waters of Marseille with the rise to provisional podium positions of Diego Botín and Florian Trittel in 49er, with a first partial position of Pilar Lamadrid to bring the Top 10 of the iQFOiL F, at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.

The wind is still elusive in Marseilles but the second day improved Spanish sensations. Some 5-11-2 partials led to the third temporary post to Botín and Trittel, podium headed by New Zealanders Isaac Kale McHardie and William McKenzie and Irish Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove.

Decisive was the last manga, where the Spaniards risked keeping to the right of the race field in the rigged, while their opponents chose the opposite. Thus, the song and the Catalan went up to a second place that took them to the podium. Spain claimed against the Irish ship, which ended up disqualified, for lack of space on arrival at beacon.

2024-07-28: Sailing Paris 2024... start 49er and 49er FX and blank day in iQFOiL

Uneven conditions for the 49er and 49er FX and blank day for the iQFOiL at the premiere of the candle at the Olympic Games

The markers of Diego Botín and Florian Trittel were opened with the first race of the 49er, which started at around 13: 30 h with just 6 knots of wind. In that first test they were unable to implement the chosen strategy and signed a tenth. In the second manga, the wind rose timidly above the 8 knots and the national dupla began to demonstrate its good doing with a sixth position, over the third manga with a quarter, with the wind already marking the 9 knots... With these partials, octaves of a very compact provisional classification are placed, two points from the top 5 and three points from the provisional bronze. The first leaders are the New Zealanders McHardie / McKenzie, followed by the Irish Dickson / Waddilove and the Uruguayan Upierre / Diz, in this order.

Except for the first test in 49erFX, in which the wind shrouded the 8 knots timidly, conditions have been very fair to compete, falling to 5-6 knots in the second and third. With this intensity of wind, unfavorable for the Spanish crew to develop its full potential, Echegoyen and Barceló have fought to defend the positions of Top10 in which they have sailed in several sections of today's races. The general classification is led by Dutch Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz, with a single point of difference over French Sarah Steyaert and Charline Picon. The third step of the podium, six points from the second, is for the German Marla Bergmann and Hanna Wille.
