Day four
September 17, 2009
18:40 | Never let it be said it does not blow in santa pola!
Apart from the start of race 6 for men - todays races were held in 25>30knots. The onshore direction ensured conditions challenged even the most experienced riders. Tomorrows forecast promises to offer good racing, perhaps not so close to the limit as today.
Day three..
September 15, 2009
21:31 | correction - a change in 3rd position overall. A great win today for Agnieszka Pietrasik, POL19, moves her into a podium position.
18:55 | After only one race today, for women, there is no change in the overall positions.
Top 3 remain - POL111, AUS911, and FRA59. For the first day since we arrived the wind did not really materialise. The forecast looks promising for tomorrow - we hope to get back on schedule with the race programme.
Day two...
September 14, 2009
18:47 | There is another storm approaching - the day started with a storm and ends with a storm; and in between plenty of drama on the race course, especially for the mens fleet. Come back soon to check provisional results after 5 races
Day one
September 14, 2009
19:16 | We were unlucky not to get a third race today and validate the championship on the first day. However this was definately a masterful display from reigning world champion , Wojtek Brzozowski, POL10- two bullets in convincing style. For sure he is not going to relinquish the title easily. In the womens fleet a win each for Marta Hlavaty (POL111) and Allison Shreeve (AUS911)
Registration day and opening ceremony
September 12, 2009
16:23 | Tonight there will be a prize giving at the beach for the Spanish Championships ; followed by an opening ceremony for the Worlds.
Ceri reports..
September 12, 2009
22:43 | live reports will start to flow from tomorrow morning. Although it is registration day for the Worlds , it is also the final racing day of the spanish championships. The organisers have done a fantastic job creating an event village - great facilities for the competitors; a viewing stand for spectators to watch the action, right at the shoreline; commentary from the control tower & live transmission to a big screen on the main stage. Lots of background activity to keep the public interested.
