Opening day at the ILCA 6 & 7 Senior European championships in Greece (18 to 23 February)
Only the first race, but not an auspicious start for the British competitors vying for Team GB Paris Olympic selection.
Although Britain is qualified for the women’s ILCA 6, a team selection has still to be announced, and this event could be the deciding factor.
Best placed of the six GBR entries are Matilda Nichols in 32nd, and Daisy Collingbridge in 34th after the first race for the two flights.
Hannah Snellgrove, ranked 9th in the world, who earned Team GB a qualification spot to the Paris Olympics, is not competing . . . RYA asked to comment.
Just over a year ago Snellgrove suffered a huge setback with a back injury, consisting of two slipped discs. She recovered to finish top GBR competitor with a tenth place finish at the recent 2024 World Championships.
Flight winners Sunday in the women’s ILCA 6 were Elena Vorrobeva CRO and Viktorija Andrulyte LTU.
In the men’s ILCA 6 championship, after one race the winner was Konstantinos Portosalt GRE, second Nikolas Komianos GRE and third Alexandros Eleftheriadis GRE.
Britain’s only entry Jon Emmett placed 38th.
It was only in the afternoon that the sailors were able to launch and compete in the first rounds of the ILCA 6 championships. The ILCA 7 failed to complete a race.
Event hosted by Nautical Club of Kalamaki, Athens, Greece.
Two Places in women’s ILCA 6 and 2 places in men’s ILCA 7 for Paris 2024 are up for grabs for European sailors
