Finn Lynch out to deliver on his own expectations to reflect years of intense preparation

And, while qualifying Ireland to have a representative compete in each discipline was the ideal outcome, for Lynch it represents that and much more.

Being an Olympian brought added pressure and expectation so in 2019 at the last combined worlds ahead of the Tokyo Games, Lynch fell short of the qualifying criteria and also missed out at the subsequent opportunity so didn’t compete in Japan. Like this week for example, when in Race 7 on Thursday he was second place at the first mark, a crucial position that would allow the race leaders defend their lead while the main fleet fight for clear air and boatspeed at mark roundings.

The mark round soon became highly congested with multiple collisions and Ireland’s other Gold fleet sailor Ewan McMahon neatly skipped past the chaos. Lynch too was free of the danger and he succeeded in recovering enough ground to place seventh in the 80 boat fleet.
