After sustaining a biking injury while riding close to her home, US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider athlete Paige Railey (Clearwater, Fla.) will be unable to compete at the upcoming ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander, Spain. The 2012 Olympian, Laser Radial world champion and ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year is expected to make a full recovery.
'Unfortunately, Paige is not medically cleared to race by her doctors,' said Charlie McKee, High Performance Director of the US Sailing Team Sperry Top Sider. 'However, her training and racing program is expected to resume in about a month. Paige is a world-class athlete and a leader on our team, and we’ll miss her presence at the Worlds.'
'I’m disappointed not to be able to compete at the Worlds this year,' said Railey. 'It is frustrating, as I have been training hard for the event, but this is the best decision for my Rio 2016 Olympic effort. I look forward to getting back out on the water in a few weeks.'
Racing at the ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander, Spain will run from September 12-21, 2014. Combining the world championship regattas of all ten Olympic classes into a single event, the combined Worlds in Santander will be the premier event for Olympic class competition in
