Pilar Lamadrid, fifteenth in The Hague

Pilar Lamadrid (Ellas son de aqui / Livinda / Puerto Sherry / Fundación Andalucía Olímpica) has ended her last international test of the season to date with a bittersweet taste after occupying fifteenth position in the Test Event of the World Championship of Olympic classes , played since last Friday in The Hague (The Netherlands). The windsurfer from Seville has seen her harvest of good results interrupted this year, in which she has accumulated three wins and a subtitle that have lifted her to the top of the world ranking of the iQFoil Olympic class, in a competition marked by the instability of the wind and the demanding conditions, which have only allowed the dispute of two of the three days and half of the scheduled sleeves.

After six tests completed and after the cancellation of the closing day due to the total absence of wind, the yachtswoman from the Puerto Sherry Yacht Club, whose training base is in the waters of El Puerto de Santa María, has had to settle for an atypical fifteenth place in the fleet. And that in the first day he scored one of the partial victories and was eighth in another of the four races held with the upwind-stern format. In the remaining two, the complexity of the North Sea race course took its toll on her, with 16th and 24th partials that placed her in the middle of the provisional classification.

On the second day, reserved for slalom tests, Pilar Lamadrid punctured again with a 21st and a penalty (33rd) after being fourth. In this way he certified, after the cancellation of the final tests, the fifteenth absolute position in the test test for the Olympic class World Cup next year, in which the first passports will be distributed by country for the Paris 2024 Games.

The current number 1 of the Spanish pre-Olympic team of the iQFoil class, who has taken good note of what happened with a view to her next and momentous event in Dutch waters in 2023, closed the competition with 70 points. Above, the Polish Maja Dziarnowska, with a cumulative 16, achieved victory ahead of the British Islay Watson (24) and the Israeli Tibi Shashar (26), who completed the podium.
