The aim of the camp is to train the new generation
Veleiros do Sul and CBVela organize the 1st Training Camp of the Olympic Development Programme, bringing together almost 20 young sailors of the ILCA class in Porto Alegre (RS).
Activities began with training regattas in Guaíba, followed by a technical briefing held by coaches Andrey Godoy and Gustavo Nascimento at the club.
The aim of the camp is to train the next generation for future world events such as the Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
“Another work focused on Brazilian youth sailing, whose main objective is to ensure renewal. I thank Veleiros do Sul and the Brazilian Olympic Committee for their collaboration in this activity,” said Marco Aurélio de Sá Ribeiro, president of CBVela.
Six Brazilian clubs that promote Olympic sailing participate in the training, focusing on maneuvers and alignments at the starts in the first days. The camp will last until Sunday (21st).
Furthermore, some athletes participate in international events supported by the Olympic Sailing Promotion Agreement in collaboration with CBVela, with the aim of preparing the Main Olympic Sailing Team for international championships, under agreement number 930972/2022.
CBVela is the official representative of sport sailing in the country at national and international level. It is affiliated with the International Sailing Federation (World Sailing) and the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB).
Sailing is the sport with the most Olympic gold medals in the history of sport in Brazil: eight. In total, Brazilian sailors have already won 19 medals at the Olympic Games.
The entity was the first Brazilian sports confederation to join the United Nations Global Compact Brazil network and to incorporate the global sustainability agenda – Agenda 2030, with its 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) – into its strategic planning .
