The 2022 ILCA 6 Women’s & Men’s World Championships concluded this Sunday in Kemah, Texas, United States, after 6 days of competition and all 12 scheduled races met.

Tokyo 2021 Olympic Gold medalist Anne Marie Rindom DEN was crowned new 2022 ILCA 6 Women’s World champion for the third time in her career after winning the 2015 and 2019 editions in Al Mussanah, Oman, and Sakaiminato, Japan, respectively.

“I definitely loved this week. And also made me realize how much I missed to sail Laser (ILCA dinghy). It’s an awesome boat and there’s also so many great sailors, so I couldn’t be more happy to be back” – Anne Marie Rindom DEN

It was a great championship far from home for our European representatives, occupying the first 9 places among 85 sailors from all around the World.

“Today it was a bit stressful because I found myself in the same situation as last year at the Olympics and the year before at the Europeans,” Rindom shares. “It’s always very stressful to be in the leading position going into the last day. And of all people, I know how much you can lose and how much you can gain, so it was very exciting.”
