Youth and Junior Sailors Shine on Opening Day at iQFOiL Games

Day 1 of the iQFOiL International Games Youth & Junior kicks off with a bang at Lake Garda, showcasing 180 athletes from 21 nations. This event, running until May 9th, is organized by Circolo Surf Torbole and highlights the rising talent in Olympic windsurfing.

The competition features strong representation from France and Italy, emphasizing the event's technical caliber. Ideal sailing conditions with a classic "Ora" breeze, averaging 13-15 knots and gusting to 20, allowed for a productive day on the water.
