The first day of racing at the iQFOiL Asian Championships and iQFOiL International Games in Shenzhen, China, faced challenging conditions.
Only the Senior Men’s fleet managed to complete a race.
A typhoon lingering just off the coast of Shenzhen made for extremely tricky weather, with the wind proving to be inconsistent throughout the day.
The wind dropped through the day leaving just enough breeze to complete a Slalom race for the Senior Men.
Despite the challenges, Kun BI (CHN 1), Zhen HUANG (CHN 577), and Ching Yin CHENG (HKG 21) emerged victorious in their respective heats.
The iQFOiL Asian Championships and International Games bring together 148 competitors from across Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Korea.
The event features a variety of disciplines, including Course Racing, Sprint Slalom, and Marathon, designed to test the versatility and endurance of the athletes.
