27.4.2010 Day 3
Start was scheduled at 10am. We went on the water...but for nothing. The North eastly wind just died after few minutes. We could sail only one race in the afternoon, with a wind of 5-10knts. After a really good start, i fall in a "no wind" place..the girls 10m windward could hike while we were inside the boat. After rounding the mark really fare away from the first, i could recover and finished 14th.
After 3 races I'm now 18th out of 80 girls. The qualifications will continue tomorow.

26.4.2010 Day 2
We could sail 2 races in a light wind 5 to 8knts coming from 240°. I was never at the right time at the right place...was a hard day for me. I did 17th and 11th.
25.4.2010 Day 1
No wind today, no race had been sailed
The SOF, French Olympic Week in Hyères, represent some good emotions for me. Here, in 2003, I started the olympic tour in 470, with my sister Marina.. so much wind, was crazy.
In 2008, the year of the Olympics in Beijing, I finished 4th, and qualified myself for the Olympic Games.
For this 4th step in the Sailing World Cup tour 2010, over 1000 olympic sailors from 58 countries are registrated. In my categorie Laser Radial, 95 women from 34 countries will be sailing this regatta. We'v never been that many.
I will be training there from the 21st of April. On Sunday, the 25th, will start this Worldcup with 3 days of qualification, 2 days of final and 1 day for the Medal Race.
