A fateful day for the Israeli team sailing the world championships held in Cadiz, Spain. Katie Spichkov, who has already secured her place at the Summer Olympics, will try to win a prestigious medal, starting the day in third place five points away from the leader, and given the fact that in the medal cruise the double score, the top four have a chance to pick up the gold.
For the men, Yoav Cohen will try to take the ticket to Tokyo, which he won last summer, and which he is trying to keep even after the postponement of the Olympic Games. According to the Olympic Committee's scoring system, Zubari had a 24-point advantage over his young opponent (61 vs. 37), but the European champion from last November continues to narrow the gap.
Cohen is currently ranked sixth, and a successful medal cruise that will bring him to the podium will bounce him above the ranks in the rankings, making it difficult for coach Gur Steinberg the decision of the sailing association regarding the identity of the Israeli representative at the Olympics, given the good fitness of 21-year-old Cohen -34, bronze medalist from Beijing 2008.
In addition to Cohen, two other Israelis will participate in the medal cruise - Tom Reuveni ranked fourth and Yoav Omer ranked tenth.
Ofek Elimelech (11) and Zubari (15) failed to finish in the top ten and will not compete in the medal cruise, but in a special cruise to places 11 and below, where Zubari will try to minimize damage in the scoring battles against Cohen.
