He also pointed out that the Agios Kosmas venue will remain as a legacy for the Greeks, and he praised the volunteers who, as he said, are doing a splendid job.

The ATHENS 2002 REGATTA continued today with the races of Day 6. The wind was not blowing as needed by the athletes, resulting in the cancellation of the Mistral and Tornado classes. Only 7 of the 16 scheduled sessions took place (the 470 class was also having a break). There is close competition in the Europe class, where Solenne Brain of France is ahead with a narrow, 2-point lead over Virginia Kravarioti and 4 points over Nonika Oikonomopoulou – the latter having won the two races today.
