It was do a die for nine teams at the Grade 1 Women’s Match Racing
International Country Olympic Qualifying Regatta in Miami, USA.
Lotte Meldgaard Pedersen (DEN), Silja Lehtinen (FIN) and Tamara Echegoyen
(ESP) did what they needed to do to qualify their country, but at the same
time all three improved their ranking position.
Lehtinen took the regatta convincingly defeating Echegoyen 3-0 in the
final; the win moved the Finnish sailor up to #6 jumping ahead of Echegoyen
who is now one place behind her. Former World #1 Pedersen defeated Martina
Silva (ARG) 3-2 in the Petit Final to seal Denmark’s spot at London
2012. The narrow victory was sealed in the final flight after Silva fought
back from 2-0 down. Pedersen’s third place has moved her up to World
#23.
Before the qualifying regatta teams had a chance to hone in their skills
and gain ISAF Sailing World Cup points at US SAILING’s Rolex Miami
OCR, the second of seven World Cup Regattas.
Lucy Macgregor (GBR) took the regatta win to close the gap on Anna
Tunnicliffe (USA) at the top of the Rankings to just 27 points. Runner up
Olivia Price (AUS) continues her steady climb up the rankings and is now
World #13 and closing in on a top ten spot.
