First day of racing for the Olympic Formula Kite board class at the Golfo degli Angeli in Cagliari, Sardinia.
After four qualifying races for both the men and women, four competitors finished with a clean-sheet . . . Axel Mazella and Toni Vodisek in the men, and Lauriane Nolot and Daniela Moroz in the women.
And although these four top their respective fleets, when the first discard is taken into consideration the leading men are joined by Maximilian Maeder with three points, while in the women Jessie Kampman takes third with six points.
For the British entries it was the women who led the way with Katie Dabson (2 -12 3 5) in fifth with ten points and Jemima Crathorne (- 3 8 -10 6) in 12th with 17 points.
Also in the top 10 are Maddy Anderson in 16th and Lily Young in 17th overall.
Best in the men was Guy Bridge (-11 9 4 5) in 17th with 18 points. After that it’s a long way back to Mattia Maini in 55th and Adam Farrington in 56th overall.
Defending men’s champion, Theo de Ramecourt of France seemed recovered from the injuries sustained at the Sardinia Grand Slam in Cagliari . . . finishing day 1 in tenth overall with a string of third place finishes on nine points.
And the USA’s all-conquering Daniela Moroz, chasing her sixth sixth world title, showed no sign of slowing down with four flight wins to top the women’s leaderboard.
