Team Azzurra arrived in Hyères with 8 out of 10 classes already selected, namely iQfoil (male and female), Formula Kite (male and female), ILCA 7; ILCA 6; 49er FX and Nacra 17. The big absentees, precisely, 470 and 49er. In the first case, flawless performance by the 2 Italian crews in 470, Giacomo Ferrari and Alessandra Dubbini (ITA 3) on the one hand and Elena Berta and Bruno Festo (ITA 6) on the other, who finished first and second respectively, thus earning Italy an Olympic pass. Sixth place was the best placement in 49er, however, which thus misses the pass, although it is a placement that allows Italy, in the event, to be the first country among the repechaged. Who, then, will be the Azzurro crew chosen for Paris ’24 (Marseille)? We will soon be notified by the NOC, which is the National Olympic Committee.
