Paul Kohlhoff with Alica Stuhlemmer (GER) looked very strong in winning the second race.
The conditions in Enoshima are executed to have a bit of everything this week, so it will take a strong all around performance to win this games. The regatta is far from over with five teams scoring only top 10’s on day one. It was only in April 2021 that Tita and Banti got the nod, and they are so far rewarding their selectors. Many nations with competitive battles for Olympic selection, like Australia and Great Britain, had decided to select their athletes relatively early, the Italians, with two World Championship winning crews to select from had not made their choice. The Italian duo were one of the few teams not yet selected for Tokyo 2020 at the time Covid shut down the world. Tita and Banti pushing hard downwindĮnjoy Tita and Banti riding a tightrope on the downwind, even getting bucked down gracefully. However, on the downwind, they could not be matched, with an aggressive style, quick hoists, and a willingness to go right to the edge that moved them for a good day to a great day. Their starting, wind reading, and fleet management were all very reasonable to start the Olympic regatta, with more hits than misses. Their upwind speed and tactics are top-notch, with a beautiful skimming technique to keep drag low while heading upwind through the ever-present Enoshima waver. They used a combination of steady upwind form with dominant downwind speed to win two races and place third in the middle race.
