34TH OLYMPIC CLASSES REGATTA – HYERES

34TH OLYMPIC CLASSES REGATTA – HYERES

DAY 4

The breeze came late in Hyeres – around 15H00 – , but when it began to blow,
it offered a wonderful reward to SOF competitors : 15/20 knots South-West,
and even better, with a steady direction ! The ideal conditions to race.
In the Mistral class, men and women, ideal or not, conditions did not
disturb both leaders, the Italian Alessandra Sensini – the Olympic Champion
won two more races today for 3 races completed ! – and Alexandre Guyader,
from La Rochelle. Also to be noted, the race won by Julien Bontemps, from
Nantes, now climbing up at the 5th place of the overall ranking.

Interview Mateusz KUSZNIEREWICZ – Finn – Poland. Present leader of the SOF,
Mateusz is Atlanta Olympic Gold Medallist, and vice-champion of the 2001
Worlds.
« …… Some friends of mine participated in the Optimist World
Championship on the venue of the Chinese Olympic Games : no wind, and strong
current….

Julien Bontemps Interview de, 5th in sailboard, winner of one of the race of
the day (club ASPTT Nantes)
«I started well, but I chosed the wrong side of the race area, and before
I
could notice it, everybody was already gone. During the second race, I
understood the principle, and after a good start, I controlled the whole
fleet all the race long, until finishing line. The SOF is one of the
important events of the year, with the Europeans in June and the Worlds in
December. If the preparation is good, a podium is totally imaginable. »

Nicolas Huguet Interview, 12th sailboard men : « The new distribution
of
competitors in groups for the Finals changed the competition configuration.
For example, the Chinese Yuan Guo, ranked 5th yesterday evening, is now
ranked 17th, just after one day of racing ! »

Ingrid Petitjean Interview (1st of 470 Women) USPEG Voile Marseille

«We were not exceptional today, finishing 5th and 3rd today, but other
competitors « crashed ». It’s always a good thing to be first two
days
before the end. It will not change our sailing. But be careful, things are
changing so fast : the Russian leader yesterday is ranked 6th this evening
! ».
