Medal races completed the final day of the RS:X 2020 European Championships taking place at Vilamoura, Portugal.
Close but no medals for Britain’s Emma Wilson finishing fourth, and Tom Squires finishing fifth overall.
The European titles went to Yoav Cohen of Isreal and Charline Picon of France, each having dominated their respective fleets for well deserved victory.
After shooting out of the blocks, Wilson led the 10-athlete fleet round the first part of the course, but disaster struck when she was involved in a collision that the on-water judges decided to penalise her for.
After completing her penalty turns Wilson then got hit with a windshift that put her at the back of the fleet, unable to reel in her rivals before the finish.
In the men’s fleet, Wilson’s Tokyo 2020 teammate Tom Squires put together a strong performance to finish fifth overall.
Winners of the European U21 titles were: men Tom Reuveny of Israel and women Giorgia Speciale.
Winner of the men’s Youth and U17 catagory was Daniel Basik Tashtash of Israel.
Winner of the women’s Youth was Yana Reznikova of Russia, and the U17 catagory Linoy Schwartz Bargota of Israel.
