The 2022 Slalom European Windsurfing Champions

YOUTH WOMEN

The 2021 Youth Women Slalom Worlds 3rd Place finalist from France JUSTINE LEMETEYER FRA-171 enters the season strong and firm. A smart sailor who is comfortable when it gets windy and choppy as it was proven during the first days of the championships with a victory already in sight after 10 completed races. But the 2021 Youth Women Slalom Vice World Champion MA DAVICO FRA-203 was never too far behind which will definitively make things interesting in the nearest future.

YOUTH MEN

The 2021 defending Youth Slalom European Champion from Denmark, the strong and focused fast slalom racer JOHAN SØE DEN-37 kept it consistence during most if not all of his races and his title victory was pretty much clear before the last 2 days of the championship. His fellow countryman NOAH VINTHER DEN-7777 happily claimed the 2022 Vice European Champion while Belgium’s CYRIL EVRARD BEL-250 definitively had put some pressure during battles for the second slot.

JUNIOR GIRLS

The 2021 Junior Girls Slalom World Champion ELIF ERCAN TUR-571 claims 2 podium victories and shows that she belongs among the top even if competing together with the Youth women. Already making a name for herself this talented Turkish junior slalom racer will be one everyone will watch during future and upcoming slalom racing events.

JUNIOR BOYS

BAPTISTE GROUEIX FRA-6841 “The Silent Striker” a new name to remember with only 7 wins of the 19 races, but definitively one who was most consistence during the 3 racing days in the junior division making his victory a well deserved title for the up coming talent from France. Worth mentioning is OZAN ÖZAY TUR-905 who managed to learn from mistakes made during this championship winning 10 of the 19 races, yet with minus 2 points from Victory he remained positive and a very happy 2022 Vice European Junior Slalom Champion.

THE MASTERS

The most easy going group of competitors, all in for the great racing experience and the enjoyment of slalom racing in a great location. Often on the biggest gear during the races yet with a friendship and setting the example to the young ones regarding good sportsmanship. From Germany the long time and experienced windsurf racer HELGE WILKENS GER-63 claimed victory after 19 completed races and was often challenged by the strong Italian GIORGI GIORGIO ITA-125.

IT HAS BEEN ONE OF MY BEST EVENTS IN ITALY

The man in charge on the water, the experience Principal Race Officer Mr. Claudio Allesandrello was another key person during this championship. With his broad knowledge on the local forecast he knew exactly when to start racing or when to cancel or simply when to call it off at the end of each day.
--

This Championship saw a total of 97 finished heats, 9 general recalls, 3x N flags. Calasetta delivered yet a no Wind day and Beach Activities concluded the last competition day followed by the awards ceremony down town of Calasetta on the main city square – surrounded by a flair of music performances, traditional cuisine and local handcrafts – it was the center stage of the Calasetta Water Sport Festival. With already 2 successful Class Championship windsurfing events held in Calasetta, the water sport will continue to include windsurfing as pat of their program. Its been a real pleasure and we cant wait to return for some more cozy action.
