USA falls short for Paris 2024

Alongside the 2024 French Olympic Week on April 20-27 in Hyères was the final opportunity for nations to gain entry to the Paris 2024 Olympics. While the USA has selected representatives for all ten Olympic events, the nation still needed to qualify in the Men’s Windsurfing (iQFOiL), Men’s Kiteboard (Formula Kite Class), and Men’s One Person Dinghy (ILCA 7). After five days of racing, the Men’s Windsurfing and Kiteboard athletes secured USA country qualification, but it is mathematically impossible to achieve country qualification in the Men’s One Person Dinghy, thus denying Ford McCann from his first Olympics. – Full report
