Kieler Woche 2013 - Day 4, Sailing Highlights 49er FX

The skiff women are going into the all German and Australian final round of the 49erFX with a German double lead. Victoria Jurczok/Anika Lorenz (Kiel) have the best pre-setting being first in front of Tina Lutz/Susann Beucke (Bergen/Strande). Because the position is counted as a point score in the finals. Anika Lorenz is naturally very happy about the performance so far: „We have a strong German group. The British and Danish are also good, but missing here. The next week, all top nations will meet at the Europeans in Denmark."

The German 49er men are starting the run for the medals from rank two and five. The bronze winners from the previous year Welfare/Thomas Ploessel had to hand over the leading position to PavleKostov/Petar Cupac from Croatia, but still have all chances. For Justus Schmidt/Max Boehme (Kiel) reaching the finals is already a big success.
