Sailing: Mixed Multihull Medal Races
In the mixed multihull class at the Olympics, the competition between the UK’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet and the Italian team of Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti is expected to be intense. These teams have been training together since before the Tokyo Games, where the Italians took home the gold medal while the British earned the silver. The technicalities of this class are intricate, with minor adjustments in body weight having significant impacts. John and Anna have collaborated with Artemis Racing, an America’s Cup team, bringing a wealth of intellectual resources to their endeavor. Iain Percy serves as their coach, boasting two Olympic gold medals and a silver medal himself. They remain focused and unfazed by pressure.
