On Friday, Finland won the World Cup silver and bronze from the games held in Italy.

Una Heinilä and Silja-Sophie Laukkanen sailed to silver in the 29er class at the Junior World Championships in Italy at the end of an upbeat performance.

– I didn’t expect this result when we started the day in the top ten, even though our goal was somehow to finish third. We were quite shocked when we heard that we were second, skipper Heikkilä said The sailing association’s bulletin by.

Sofia Hämäläinen completed a great Finnish day by securing bronze in the iQFoil Youth windsurfing class.

– This is pretty incredible, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time and the hard work is finally paying off. We had a pretty diverse race week, which included all conditions.
