“The conditions are as follows: if one of our athletes gets into the top 15 by country, then he will join the Russian Olympic team. If several people get into the top 15, the one that shows the best result will be selected. If no one fulfills the selection conditions, he will continue in Mallorca and will be calculated by the sum of two regattas. ”
