WHat'S NEW

When we departed Cagliari, Italy, in October, we weren’t sure what would happen to our winter training plans. We had a lot to dig into after our Worlds performance. The thing about pursuing the Olympics is that the list of things to improve never gets shorter, the bullet points just get more specific.

Over a long weekend, we participated in team building exercises with other Olympic sailing athletes and completed physical fitness testing to establish baseline performance metrics.
