Laser Radial - Youth Worlds 2010 - Largs GBR - Reineke USA and Coccoluto ITA win titles

Tricky, shifty, winds of 8-15 kts on the Clyde provided the stage for the final two races of the Radial Youth Worlds in Largs, Scotland. Erika Reineke USA won the title with a race to spare. Manami Doi JPN managed to retain her second place, while Michelle Broekhuizen NED had to settle for third, however winning the European title.
Despite of yesterday’s 7th and 37th, Giovanni Coccoluto ITA closed the deal by winning the Laser Radial Youth Boys’ and European Championship after building a big points cushion throughout the week. Like Reineke, Coccoluto had won Bronze at the recent ISAF Youth World Championship in Turkey, but his final margin was just two points over Tadeusz Kubiak POL who squandered his title chances with a capsize on Friday. In third, another Italian with Luca Antognioli. Mitchell Kiss USA, one of the co-favorites, who held a podium spot Friday, slipped to fifth with two results in the mid-twenties, but won the Under 17 class. The report and the complete results.
