Diego Botín and Florian Trittel are set to juggle their America's Cup ambitions with their LA28 Olympic campaign. The duo clinched the elusive 49er world championship gold in October 2025, following a break after their Olympic triumph at Paris 2024. They recently dominated the SailGP circuit, winning Season 4 and earning the 2024 World Sailor of the Year award.
Looking ahead, they will focus on transitioning to the America's Cup with K-Challenge in 2026, sidelining 49er regattas but maintaining technical training. In 2027, they combine their America's Cup efforts with the 49er World Championship in Gdynia, where Olympic qualification spots for Los Angeles 2028 are on the line. After the Cup, they fully resume their 49er campaign. Botín emphasizes the growth opportunities in both ventures, while Trittel reaffirms their commitment to pursuing Olympic glory.
