A light Mediterranean breeze, changes within the rankings and lots of emotions and drama on the final competition day.

Great back to back final races for the men gold, silver fleets and the women final race, followed by the Medal races which included the top 10 competitors who got to challenged each other, for the last time in the great show off, in front of the Limassol Nautical Sailing Club in Limassol, Cyprus.

Another great Championship event has come to an end for The International RS:X Olympic Windsurfing Class. After a week of interesting sailing in conditions that vary, from strong winds to light wind at the end of the week,  making this World Championship a pretty interesting and emotional one for all involved.
