This week sees the first edition of the European Championships happening in Lacanau. Starting with the Opening Ceremony yesterday, today was dedicated to the Men’s and Women’s Technical Race.

The least we could say is that they started their campaign pretty well already claiming two gold medals for Olivia Piana and Titouan Puyo and a silver medal for Arthur Arutkin.
