David Ingiosi At last kiteboarding enters the Olympics. During the World Sailing Mid-Year Meeting held in London in May, after a week of discussions the exponents of the world's sailing federations reached the decision: kiteboarding will officially make its debut as Olympic sailing class in 2024. In fact, kiteboarding was running for the Olympics for some time now and it was only a matter of understanding in which edition of the Games kites and boards would have made their official debut. It’s now been confirmed and it’s definitely some beautiful news for our sport. Kiteboarding will enter the Olympics 2024 with a race format with mixed teams of men and women. The details of the chosen format for the Olympic competitions still need to be defined but could include national teams of men and women gaining points from races or "relay" races where athletes compete alternating the track laps. There is nothing much on the equipment to be used yet. The official notice published by the World Sailing Board just refers to "new equipment must be selected". We await further news to this end in the upcoming months. The <strong>International</strong> Kiteboarding Association (IKA) will closely work with the World Sailing Events Committee, to ensure that the format reflects the wishes and dreams of the competing kiteboarders from all over the world. Kitesurfing is sailing, let’s cut the fuss ust few hours after the decision, IKA President Mirco Babini (<strong>International</strong> Kiteboarding Association) said: "We are extremely happy, I couldn't sleep last night I was so excited. It's been a long way that started some years ago, but we never lost track. The achieved goal of kitesurfing becoming an Olympic discipline in Paris 2024 is the result of years of work and we proved reliability and organizational skills to the sailing community. Kiteboarding will give added value to the whole movement, especially to those minor federations which will be able to take part to the Olympic adventure with a limited budget. What we achieved is very important because kiteboarding fully belongs to the sailing family. We now have few months to determine the exact equipment and format. We shall intensively work on some ideas we have for the presentation in November. I’m very proud to have contributed in a strong and yet consistent manner in the work management of my team."
KITEBOARDING IS OFFICIALLY AN OLYMPIC CLASS! THE NEW MIXED FORMAT EVENTS OF THE OLYMPICS 2024 WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR 2019 DURING THE WORLD SAIL ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN NOVEMBER. BUT NOW, LET'S JUST ENJOY THIS AMAZING SUCCESS!
