Germany Tops Medal Table at Limassol Nautical Club’s 2026 International Beach Sprints

The fourth edition of Limassol Nautical Club’s beach sprint regatta in Cyprus attracted competition from key LA28 Olympics hopefuls, including Spanish and Lithuanian world champions. The German national team would ultimately top the senior medal table, winning gold and silver in the mixed doubles, gold and bronze in the men’s solos, and bronze in the women’s solos.

The final day of the competition was made more difficult by rain and wind, which caused the junior finals to be canceled (classification followed results from time trials). However, the new under-14 category was able to race at the beginning of the day, when the water was still calm.

Boats were provided by Swift Racing, and the company also provided the timing system for the regatta and, on the final day, demoed an online, live results system.
