We have covered practically all weather conditions that you can imagine. Then the wind at all sour. We lost speed, and we just had to turn the big waves, as well as all the boats around. Despite the fact that Russia started the best, we can continue to get around them,” – said trimmer of the Swedish team Markus Helander.
