Olympic Worldcup 2016 - Semaine Olympique - Hyères FRA - Start today

The third Act of the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Classes World Cup begins in Hyères FRA today. Since four days, a well-established Mistral breeze and sun have been prevailing, and according to the wind forecast, peaks of up to 28 kn will challenge the teams today, probably too much for some of the classes.
The nations' qualifications for the Rio Olympic Regatta have been concluded and some nations are selecting their Olympic representatives during the remaining Worldcup events. 574 boats from 46 nations are present in the South of France, among them most Olympic favorites testing their form with direct opponents. As from Friday, the Medal Races will be broadcast as usual live on our website.
