      In St. Petersburg Yacht Club on Tuesday, June 4, the Optimist Class Association Cup ended. As a result of the competition, not only the names of the winners and prize-winners became known, but also those drivers who will represent our country at world and European championships.

The Optimist Class Association Cup is the most important regatta, which is the final stage of selection for key international season starts. Athletes from 9 to 14 years old take part in races.

At the beginning of the final day, wind gusts reached 14 knots, but during the first races they dropped to 4. The organizers held one race in the "gold", "silver" and "bronze" fleets – and they decided to limit it to this.

“I was counting on Monday to finish the competition in the“ golden ”fleet, but I managed to do it only today. We have fully implemented the program, – says the main referee of the Association Cup Vadim Mechanics. – In addition, we spent 9 of 10 races in the "silver" and "bronze" fleets. During the regatta the wind was different. Professional riders should race well in any wind that today's leaders have shown. I am very pleased with how ready our children are. ”

Despite the fact that the last race was not very successful favorites, in the upper part of the table there were no big changes. Artyom Maksimkin (Vodnik PC, Dolgoprudny) retained the first line, Andrei Sotnikov (Children's Sports Sailing Team "Rautu") became second, and Daniel Perchik ("Rautu") was third.

“The conditions for the regatta were very good – the wind was stable,” says Artem Maksimkin, the winner of the Association Cup. – Nothing supernatural happened during the whole race. In a strong wind, I was not very good at chasing, but due to the fact that the rivals gave me chances, I could play the distance, so all the races passed steadily. I have been to St. Petersburg many times and presented the conditions of this water area. For me it was easy to restructure. I selected for the World Cup. The primary goal for me is getting into the “golden” fleet at the world championship. ”

Among girls, Arina Bratashenko took the first place (Taganrog, State Budgetary Institution of Public Administration School No.3). In a bitter struggle, she bypassed Alisa Ivanovskaya (“Raut”), which became the second. Third place went to Ekaterina Yelistratova (CSKA, Moscow).

“The main rival for me is myself. I lost this fight, ”says silver medalist Alisa Ivanovskaya. – In fact, I have always believed that you can fight with the guys on a par. In many countries there is no separate standings for girls. I think it should be so. Girl test is just a bonus. I am pleased that I have overtaken many guys and almost all girls. This is my last year at Optimist. I am not going to leave sailing. I want to try myself in different classes of yachts and decide what suits me best. ”

After the Association Cup, the composition of the national teams was determined at the coaching meeting, which will represent our country at the European and World Championships.

Artyom Maksimkin and Ivan Zhilkin (both – “Vodnik”), Danila Ivanov and Maxim Bondar (both – “Krestovsky Island), and Fyodor Krivobokov (“ Friendship ”) will go to the world championship.

At the European Championships, our country will be represented by Andrei Sotnikov, Daniel Perchik, Vyacheslav Martus (all – “Rautu”), Kirill Shunenkov (Academy of Sailing), Arina Bratashenko (“SSSR No. 3), Daria Savinova (“ Favorite ”) and Maria Struck ( "Vodnik").

The past Association Cup was a record number of participants. The regatta was attended by 224 riders from all over our country, including from Khabarovsk, Sakhalin Region and Vladivostok.

“I am very pleased with how the regatta went,” said Vladimir Lyubomirov, president of the Optimist Class Association. – The most important thing is the number of participants. Once again, we set a record. It is very nice that the guys appreciate this regatta, come and fight. More importantly, the overall athletic level is growing. Several years ago we could not even imagine that such a number of athletes could perform at such a high level. The selection for the World and European Championships was competitive. For this we set up these regattas. ”

“Event management is not only the race itself, but also various coastal and entertainment events, the availability of food for athletes,” continues the chief judge of the competition, Vadim Mechanics. – There is no such complete set of pleasures, as in the Yacht Club of St. Petersburg, in Russia. This is the only place that so meets and organizes events. Ice cream, souvenirs, food, games, a meeting with George Shayduko – all this accompanied the Association Cup. ”

As part of the regatta in the Yacht Club of St. Petersburg, a meeting of the All-Russian Association of the Optimist class was held, at which a quorum was gathered and Vladimir Lyubomirov was elected President of the Association. All details and decisions of the meeting will be published soon on the site rusopti.ru.

      At the start – 34 champions and prize-winners of the Olympics!
      Tomorrow, January 29, overseas, in Miami, the first races of the second stage of the sailing World Cup 2019 will be held.

The regatta in Miami this year marks the 30th anniversary. By tradition, she opens the season of competition in the Olympic disciplines sail.

In the current – pre-Olympic – year, attention to this regatta is altogether heightened. Here is just one fact: 650 yachtsmen from 60 countries arrived in Miami, including 34 champions and Olympic medalists at once! Agree, it says a lot.

And one more, in our opinion, an important touch: in the lists of participants of the regatta-2019 almost all those who became winners a year ago (there are no triumphants in only one type of program out of ten).

Unfortunately, the Russians in Miami, judging by the starting protocols, will be presented only in two disciplines – 470 (Pavel Sozykin and Denis Gribanov) and Finn (Alexey Selivanov). Coaches, of course, know better, but … Yes, Florida is far, yes, it is expensive for those same Europeans to get there, but many national federations of sails from countries far from Miami considered it necessary to send representative delegations to the Cup stage and found opportunities for that. For example, the UK team has 42 members. Let's envy …

The regatta in Miami will end on Sunday, February 3.

Taking this opportunity, we recall the schedule of the World Cup 2019. The first stage – in Enoshima (Japan) – took place back in September last year. The third stage will be held in April in Genoa (Italy). And, finally, the Cup final will be held in June in French Marseilles.
