2020 Radial Women’s Europeans
Marit Bouwmeester NED appears as main favorite among Women’s competition. The reigning Olympic Gold medallist in Rio 2016 is also now the reigning 2020 World Champion after winning in Australia. Marit’s supremacy is also reflected on many of last Laser Senior Europeans, winning Gold in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
But there is also Anne Marie Rindom DEN, Bronze medal in Rio. She arrives to the event as the reigning European champion after winning the 2019 edition in Portugal. The Danish sailor was also 2019 World champion in Japan, followed by Marit on second. Anne Marie has just snatched the Kieler Woche’s title from Dutch sailor’s hands in the last race a few weeks ago in Germany, so battle is guaranteed.
Despite the fact that these two sailors have won most of the last Laser Women’s titles, there will be various serious contenders on course. Annalise Murphy IRL –Silver medal in Rio 2016– has recently returned to the class in great shape and will be certainly one of them. Emma Plasschaert BEL –World champion in 2018 in Denmark and Bronze on last Senior Euros in Portugal– will be also a challenging competitor.
Det bliver spændende at følge Rindom de kommende dage.
Johan Schubert og Christin Winkler i Laser Standard
De 2 unge Horsens drenge skal igen i konkurrence mod det bedste Laser Standard Sejlere. 136 både stiller op.
Der er et stykke vej til toppen, men kan de nå op i bedste 1/2 eller bedste 1/3 del af feltet, kan de slutte sejladsen med meget mere erfaring og et tilfredsstillende resultat.
