Last year, both in the men’s and the women’s divisions the Open European champions were from outside Europe.
Singapore’s 16-year-old Max Maeder is back to defend his title and will be the one to beat in the Men’s fleet.
The four-time Open European champion Daniela Moroz from the USA opted out of defending her European crown this season, so the title is more likely to stay in Europe.
