Danish Nacra 17 sailors approaching the WORLD cup-medals

Lin Ea Cinholt and Christian Peter Lübeck was Friday the best Nacra 17 sailors at the WORLD championships in Auckland.

At the ongoing WORLD cup in New Zealand in bådklasserne 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 there is the greatest possibility for a Danish medal in the latter bådklasse.

the Nacra 17-the sailors Lin Ea Cinholt and Christian Peter Lübeck was Friday the best on the WORLD cup's fourth day, and after placements as the number nine, five, and four are advancing the Danish duo from seventh place to fourth in the overall standings.

It provides a good opportunity to climb up on the medaljeskamlen in the course of the weekend's final races.

the Danes are four points behind both a british duo in third place and the australians in second place, while there are 11 points up to the italians in front of the competition.

Natacha Violet Saouma-Pedersen and Mathias Bruun Borreskov is number 30 and is truly without medaljechance in the Nacra 17. The young crew first OLYMPICS in 2024 as its goal.

In the women's 49erFX answered Ida Marie Baad and Marie Thusgaard back on a bad Thursday. Friday was good enough started with an 18.-place in the waters off Auckland, however, the following sailing gave a third place, before the danes won the day's last sailing.

Thus the progress of the duo from tenth place to fifth place and also have the opportunity to get home a medal from New Zealand. Anne-Julie Schütt and Iben Nielsby is number 16.

Of the four Danish crews in the men's 49er are Jonas Warrer and Jacob Precht Jensen is the best bet on a Danish highscore. The duo is number 12 before the final races.

Denmark has secured an OLYMPICS-nationsplads in all three boat classes, but there is no set name on OLYMPIC crews.

this week's WORLD championships in Auckland, as well as next year's WORLD cup, which is already in February in Australia, determine.

The crew from each bådklasse, which of the two championships for the best results, get the OLYMPICS ticket.
