Israeli windsurfer Tamar Steinberg on Friday, April 25, won the gold medal at the World Cup in Hyeres, France. It marked the second gold medal in a row for Steinberg, who won first place at a competition in Cadiz, Spain, last month.
Sharon Kantor, also an Israeli competitor, won bronze at the competition. The final day of the competition was marred by heavy winds, leading organizers to cancel the quarter and semi-final rounds, opting for one single final round, which included Steinberg, Kantor and fellow Israeli Shahar Tibi.
In a close race, Steinberg and Kantor both finished on the podium, with Chinese surfer Zheng Yan finishing in second place, taking home the silver medal.
“There were really varied conditions throughout the competition with the medal race in such light winds after a few days of crazy winds,” Steinberg told the media, as reported by an Israeli news site. “I feel confident today in my ability to withstand the different conditions and it gives me a lot of confidence.” (TOI/VFI News)
