Hey fam, sailing is making waves in Guangdong as the 15th National Games of China kicks off! 🌊⛵️ From now until the end of October, over 200 athletes across 17 teams are battling it out for 10 shiny gold medals.
This year’s lineup is next-level, featuring Olympic staples under International Olympic Committee (IOC) rules—think hydrofoil windsurfing & hydrofoil kiteboarding. In simple terms, hydrofoils let boards lift above water for an extra speed boost. 🚀
The first stage runs from Monday to Wednesday, deciding who moves on to the finals. To keep things fair, several top-tier international arbitrators (the referees who’ve rocked the Olympics) are on deck to ensure every race is legit.
Whether you’re chilling in Mumbai, Manila, or Jakarta, this competition brings coastal energy straight to your screen. Stay tuned for thrilling matchups, tech-driven action, and epic finishes on the water! 🏄♀️🏆
