The Austrian sailors won two gold medals in Sydney, making them the second best sailing nation after the British and Australians. Now the miracle seems possible again. After six races, Andreas Geritzer holds a four point lead over the Brazilian superstar Robert Scheidt. The second hope for gold will not intervene until next week with the defending champions Hagara / Steinacher.

The Austrian sailors won two gold medals in Sydney, making them the second best sailing nation after the British and Australians. Now the miracle seems possible again. After six races, Andreas Geritzer holds a four point lead over the Brazilian superstar Robert Scheidt. The second hope for gold will not intervene until next week with the defending champions Hagara / Steinacher.

Geritzer's great start to the series doesn't come out of the blue. The 29-year-old was fifth in Sydney and most recently sixth at the World Cup. But that he can stand up to the seven-time world champion Scheidt was hardly to be expected.

But it can backfire for the Austrian because he has been carrying around a 34th place as a string player since the third race. An early start or a similar place and the fairy tale would be over.

But at the moment there is nothing to suggest. “Especially at the start I have a very secure feeling. I can take full risk,”says the 14th in the world rankings.
