Paris 2024 Sailing: Tom Reuveny wins gold in men's windsurfing - complete results
It was a stunning day in Marseille as Tom Reuveny of Israel claimed gold in the men's windsurfing event. The last Israeli to win this title is Reuveny's coach at Paris 2024 Gal Fridman, who won at Athens 2004.
Reuveny's precise manoeuvres and a keen sense of strategy propelled him ahead in a highly competitive field that included Australia's Grae Morris, who took the silver medal, following closely behind Reuveny.
Morris is also backed by greatness, as his father, Brett Morris, was a national windsurfing champion. His silver medal adds a new chapter to the Morris family's storied legacy in the sport.
Luuc Van Opzeeland of the Netherlands, a seasoned competitor with an impressive track record, claimed the bronze medal. Van Opzeeland has consistently excelled at the IQFoil world championships. He has maintained top-tier performances over the years, securing gold in 2023, silver in 2022, and bronze in 2021 and 2024.
