2021 ICF Ocean Racing World Championships

RISING STARS STOKE DEBATE AROUND ICF’S MEDAL REGULATIONS

Ana Swetish and Uli Hart are both Under 23 athletes who produced breakout performances, only to walk away with very different titles.

He’s picked up several podium finishes over his racing career, but Nick Notten hopes this proves to be the breakthrough result he’s been aiming for.

The South African finally became a World Champion with her commanding victory at the 2021 event in Lanzarote.

South Africa was unable to field a full team due to travel restrictions, but they have again dominated the podium.

The decision doesn’t come as a surprise, but it does come with plenty of disappointment for the nation’s selected athletes.

It’s faced a tumultuous lead-up, but organisers have declared they will meet the required competitor numbers to host a World Championships.
