A huge achievement for Israel.
Daniela Peleg and Maia Morris advanced to the finals of the IQ Foil World Championship held in Brest, France and secured their place on the podium.
Both Peleg and Morris achieved the great achievement, when in the semi-finals they finished in first and second place (respectively), this after they waited about an hour and a half before the start of the day of the medal races due to lack of wind, but it seems that this did not affect them and they managed to fulfill the task.
First, no less than 4 Israeli surfers jumped to the quarter-final stage, knowing that only the first two would get a ticket to the next stage, when in the end both Morris and Peleg found their place in the semi-finals, when the big disappointment was Shahar Tibi who was at the top throughout the days of the competition and in the end remained Behind, Kati Spichkov also did not get her place in the last five.
As a reminder, according to the new system, only the top ten from the Golden House are eligible to advance to the medal cruises, which are held in a 3-stage format (quarters, semis and finals).
The first place (one for men and one for women) advances directly to the final (and actually guarantees a medal), 2nd and 3rd place advance to the semi-finals and places 4-10 fight in the quarters.
The first two in each division advance to the next stage.
In the men's category, Thom Reuveni also participated in the medal cruise, in the quarter-finals, after finishing the regular competition in fifth place overall, when at this stage, after a hesitant start, he burst forward, with only a French opponent in front of him and crossed the finish line second, which advanced him to the semi-finals.
