Tasar World Championship 2026 in Okinawa, Japan - Days 2 & 3

by Tasar Worlds Committee 9 Jun 04:22 PDT 4–12 June 2026

Unfortunately, today's races have been cancelled due to severe weather conditions. As this follows yesterday's cancellation caused by a tsunami advisory, we have now lost two consecutive days of racing.

Consequently, the Organising Authority has decided to change tomorrow's schedule from a reserve day to an official racing day to catch up on the programme.

After the three races on Day 1, the current podium positions are all being occupied by USA teams. Let's hope for favourable weather tomorrow, so Day 4 can go ahead!
