Despite finishing the final series racing tied with Marta Maggetti of Italy, Britain’s Emma Wilson of Britain finished just short of the Medal race podium.
Maggetti won the medal race to claim the women’s 2022 iQFOiL World Title, with second Daniela Peleg of Israel and in third place Maya Morris also of Israel.
Wilson finished in fourth place. Islay Watson (GBR) was in 11th place.
Wilson, from Christchurch in Dorset, commented . . . “I’m pretty gutted but also pretty proud after breaking my big toe just two weeks before the event during a training session. Now it’s time to rest and heal the toe. I’m motivated for more next season.”
Winner of the men’s medal race and the men’s 2022 iQFOiL World Title was Sebastian Koerdel of Germany who had dominated the event all week.
In second was Luuc Opzeeland (NED) and third Huig Jan Tak (NED).
