At Kieler Woche, one medal after another has been claimed in the Paralympic class 2.4mR and then in the eight Olympic classes. Great Britain gained three gold medals and Germany claimed three with Spain, Austria and Finland claiming once each.
For the finish of the Olympic classes, Philipp Buhl (Sonthofen) defended his title in the Laser and relegated the two-time Olympic winner Robert Scheidt (Brazil) and Jesper Staelheim (Sweden) to the fringe.
In the 49er, Nico Delle Karth and Nikolaus Resch (Austria) stayed in charge to win the race. With a capsize in the first of three Medal Races, Eric Heil and Thomas Ploessel (Kiel) had only a theoretical chance, but won the second race, acknowledged by the spectators with applause - though it did not help. With a victory in the last race, Delle Karth and Resch demonstrated, becoming number one at this year's Kiel Week. Pavle Kostov and Petar Cupac (Croatia) were on rank three.
Heiko Kroeger (2.4mR), Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke (Bergen/Strande) won the second gold medal for Germany.
The crew from Strande and Munich were the early Kiel Week winners after two of the three Medal Races in the Olympic 49er FX. After the success at the EUROSAF Sailing Champions Cup at Medemblik, this was the second coup, with the Australian crews Olivia Price and Caitlin Elks und Tessa Parkinson and Chelsea Hall following on rank two and three. Victoria Jurczok and Anika Lorenz (Kiel) made it to rank four.
In the Nacra 17, the three-time 49er World Champion Iker Martinez with his crew Tarai Pachieco gained the victory. The Spaniard won gold at the Olympics in 2004 in Greece with his crew Xabier Fernandez in the 49er and silver in 2008. The 36 year old Basque-born participated in Kiel with Tara Pachieco in the mixed catamaran and claimed the victory. In the final, the Spaniard did relegate the former leading Australian Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin to rank two. Place three goes to the Austrian team Thomas Zajac and Tanja Chiara Frank. Lisa Rattemeyer and Pietro Sibello (Kiel/Italy) made it onto rank eight in total and missed the medal races.
Mark Andrews (Great Britain), Dennis Karpak (Estonia) and Piotr Kula (Poland) claimed victory in the Finn. Best German Finn sailor was Lennart Luttkus on rank 22.
The 470 was dominated by British sailors Luke Patience and Joe Glanfiled who triumphed over their fellow countrymen Nick Rogers and Elliot Willis and the Austrians Matthias Schmidt and Florian Reichstaedter.
The third gold medal for Great Britain in Kiel was won by the 470 women. Sophie Weguelin and Eilidh McIntyre ensured the victory by winning the Medal Race, with the same point score as the Dutch team Kyranakou and Anneloes van Veen on rank two and the Austrian team on rank three Lara Vadlau and Jolanta Ogar.
Tuula Tenkanen from Finland pointed out her special position and let another victory follow the five first places in the fleet races. Three-time Kiel Week winner Paige Railey (USA) won silver, followed by Joselfin Olsson from Sweden. The German participant at the Olympics in Weymouth, Franziska Goltz (Kiel), who entered the Medal Race on rank three, made it to rank five in the end. 'There is a hell of a lot of wind. My legs already hurt,' Goltz was already skeptical before the start.
