First day of racing at the 2022 iQFOiL International Games, Lanzarote.
Emma Wilson is in second in the women’s event, six points behind Pilar Lamadrid of Spain, with Lucie Belbeoch of France third.
In the men’s event, Luuc Van Opzeeland of Holland leads, six points clear of countyman Huig Jan Tak, with Nicolas Goyard of France a point back in third place.
Britain’s Matt Barton is fourth, and Finn Hawkins seventh.
The foiling iQFOiL board is the replacement for the RS:X board at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games for both men and women’s events.
In a highly contentious move the Finn class (heavyweight men) event was also removed and replaced with men and women’s Kite foil events.
Due to the Tokyo Games taking place a year late potential Olympic competitors have a much shortened period to prepare for the Paris Games.
Edit Update – No racing possible on Wednesday (Day 2).
