Ahead of Tokyo 2020, he turned his full focus to the Finn Class, and after finishing ninth in the 2021 class world championship prior to the Games, Scott exerted his will on the fleet in Enoshima winning over half the races to take gold.

Badloe also won the 2020 iQFOil European Championship - newcomer sport to the Olympic Games, débuting at Paris 2024.īalancing his duties with the British Sailing Team for Tokyo 2020, and as tactician for the INEOS TEAM UK America's Cup, Giles Scott had his hands full to repeat his gold medal winning performance in Rio 2016. Within the 2021 World Sailing Awards qualifying period, he won three RS:X world titles on his road to Tokyo 2020, and then secured Olympic gold. The Netherlands have had a stranglehold on the men's Olympic RS:X Windsurfing event, with Badloe offering little opportunity for others to stand above him on the podium.

But before he claimed victory in the solo non-stop round the world race, the 48-year-old took part in the rescue of Kevin Escoffier whose boat effectively broke in two off the tip of South Africa, and who most likely would have died if not for the selflessness of Bestaven and others. His earlier generation yacht that toppled the fleet of 33 starters for the win in 80:03:44:46. The rapid design evolution of the IMOCA had eight of the newest breed on the start line for the Vendée Globe 2020-21, but it was Bestaven and He has since been exerting his excellence among active Olympians in the Moth Class, bulleting nearly every race to claim the past two World titles - including winning the 2021 Rolex Middle Sea Race on the 100-foot Comanche - and has been setting the standard in the global sports league, earning the season 1 title and now as leader of season 2. Slingsby is one of the most successful sailors in the world, with Olympic gold at London 2012, nine World championships, the America's Cup and numerous world records set, in addition to being crowned 2010 World Sailor of the Year. While they followed up their Rio 2016 gold medal with wins at the 20 World Championships - and then successfully defended the America's Cup - they dipped out of a second Olympic gold after a thrilling final race in Tokyo to secure silver. When the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were delayed, the carefully laid out schedule for this team suddenly became an impressive juggling act with the America's Cup. Her ability is now being applied as a member of the United States SailGP Team. With gold at the 2019 World Beach Games contributing to her recognition in 2020 as US Sailing Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year, she stamped her authority on the Formula Kite Class by steamrolling the fleets in the 2021 European and World Championships, her fifth world title. Nobody has dominated a discipline during the qualifying period of the World Sailing Awards like Moroz, who has set the standard for women through the entire evolution of kite competition. This was Eilidh McIntyre's first Olympic gold, following in the footsteps of her father who won gold in the Star class at the 1988 Games.Ĭompleting the Vendée Globe - the single-handed, solo, non-stop round the world yacht race - is a major accomplishment, but Crémer, one of only six women in the 2021 field of 33 starters, shattered the women's record in both the solo and open categories set in 2001 by Ellen MacArthur (GBR) in the same race. The 2020 Olympic result now makes Hannah Mills the most successful female Olympic sailor of all time. The route was not always smooth, but placing second and fifth at the 2021 European and World Championships set them up for a dominating performance to win gold at Tokyo 2020. Mills considered a 49erFX campaign before setting out with a new teammate to repeat her Rio 2016 gold in the 470. After finishing 15th in their first race in Enoshima, they leaned on their experience and found their groove to claim gold again in the women's skiff 49er FX competition. As runners-up for the 2019 World title, and 12th in their last elite competition prior to Tokyo 2020, they had just 17 months to prepare for the Games. Maintaining dominance is no easy feat, but that was the task for this duo following their gold medal at Rio 2016. She is now a member of the Denmark SailGP Team. But it was at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games that she showed her true character - overcoming a rare starting penalty to win gold.
