Diego Botín and Florian Trittel, 2024 Olympic Gold Medalists and SailGP champions, suspend their 2028 Olympic program to join the French team K-Challenge for the 2027 America's Cup in Naples. They will not compete in 49er regattas during the 2026 season but will maintain a technical training program in the class. In 2027, they aim to balance their America’s Cup campaign with a return to the 49er World Championship in Gdynia, Poland, a key event for Olympic qualification for Los Angeles 2028. After the Cup, they will fully resume their Olympic campaign. Botín emphasizes the America’s Cup as a significant challenge and opportunity for growth. Trittel confirms their commitment to both SailGP and the 49er, stating their motivation to pursue further Olympic success. The duo recently secured the 49er World Championship title after a year-long break following their Olympic victory.
