Swedes shine on day 2 of the Women's Match Racing World Championship
After a great hospitality evening in the Old City centre and a dinner with teams and officials at a local restaurant, came another beautiful day of racing on the water in Jeddah.
Martina Carlsson, Svea Sahlin, Amanda Ljunggren, Hanna Gaskell-Brown and Hedvig Hedström, the BEYOND team from Sweden, were the protagonists of the biggest comeback of the day.
Martina Carlsson commented: “Today was intense, we really pushed it BEYOND the limits! Great team spirits and good vibes paid off and resulted in four wins out of five races. It was tough, but we managed to keep it simply all the way.”
Pauline Courtois and her team still lead after two round robins with an impressive 100% record.
