Final Results for 2023 Marseille Olympic Sailing Test Event<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two race wins in two classes kicked off a great week for the US Sailing Team at the Paris 2024 Test Event in Marseille, France. Now 375 days out from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the USA Team is leaving Marseille with invaluable racing experience on future Olympic waters in a high-pressure scenario. Athletes and staff are returning home with heightened knowledge of weather characteristics on the five course areas, increased familiarity with venue logistics, and dialed-in operations routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniela Moroz secured both a bronze medal at the future Olympic venue and her nomination to Team USA for the Paris 2024 Games in the Women\u2019s Formula Kite, per US Sailing\u2019s Selection Procedures. With the first step to Paris checked off her list, Moroz will now turn her attention to qualifying the USA for a Paris 2024 spot in the Women\u2019s Formula Kite at the Sailing World Championships in The Hague, The Netherlands from August 10-20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Daniela Moroz left Marseille with a bronze but more importantly, America’s top medal prospect locked in her place on the US Team ahead of the next event, where she must now sail to earn the team an Olympic berth.<\/span>\n Allison Chenard\/US Sailing Team<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

\u201cThe goal this week was getting on the podium to secure the Team USA nomination, and I\u2019m proud of the work my team and I put in to get it done,\u201d said Moroz. \u201cI\u2019m excited and honored to be one step closer to representing USA at the Paris 2024 Olympics, and I\u2019ve got my sights set on country qualification in The Hague next month. Racing on Olympic waters this week was really valuable and I\u2019m hungry to come back and get the result I know I can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erika Reineke logged the most dramatic Medal Race of the ten US Sailing Team athletes who advanced to Finals, rocketing from near last to a race win. Reineke’s Medal Race win ultimately did not affect her 10th overall score (missing ninth by 1 point), but it will go down in the books as one of the best races of the week in Marseille, and she proved her skills on one of the most important stages in the lead up to the Paris Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\"Lara <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n
\n The new Mixed Dinghy pair of Lara Dallman Weiss and Stuart McNay started their series with a race win in Marseille and outside a BFD managed to put up string of top-10s to finish fifth overall.<\/span>\n Allison Chenard\/US Sailing Team<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

Reineke came into the Medal Race in 10th out of the 10 top women with nothing to lose and bolted to the right side of the course when the rest of the fleet went left. The wind was coming from the direction of the marina and the windward mark was set just outside the harbor, and the other nine athletes sought the pressure lanes making their way down the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She rounded the first windward mark ninth, hot on the heels of the tight 1-8 pack and a gap behind her to 10th and kicked it into high gear flying downwind at 12 knots, according to the tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\"Ian <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n
\n Ian Barrows and Hans Henken continue to excel at the top of the Men’s Skiff event, ascending to the medal race and finishing sixth overall.<\/span>\n Allison Chenard\/US Sailing Team<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

Reineke chose the course-left gate and gained some height on the half of the fleet that went right, tacked onto port to chase their pod, then lee-bowed the group and led them back to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And before spectators at the bottom of the course knew it, Reineke was leading the ILCA 6 Medal Race of the Test Event, bow reaching for the sky as she bulleted down the final reach leg through the gate and onto the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the week was a confidence boost for the USA and confirmation that efforts are paying off across the board. \u201cWe made some good gains on the water and came away with important experience learning the venue that we can build into institutional knowledge for the future Paris 2024 Olympic Team,\u201d said Sally Barkow, US Olympic Sailing Head of Operations. \u201cWe had great collaboration between coaches, the staff worked really efficiently, and I\u2019m proud of what we accomplished as a team. We have a solid foundation to build upon for 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n iQFoil sailor Noah Lyons remained in the top 10 early in the week but just missed out on the Medal Race cut and finished 12th overall, a strong showing for the emerging foiler.<\/span>\n Allison Chenard\/US Sailing Team<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

Next, American athletes will work to qualify the USA in all ten Olympic classes at the Sailing World Championships in The Hague, The Netherlands from August 11-20. A high enough finishing place by any American boat will secure a berth in Paris 2024 in that class for the USA, and 48 athletes will be putting their best foot forward in 25 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
