But Price sealed the deal in the fourth match advancing to the Semi-Finals where she will face 2011 ISAF Women's Match Racing World Champion and ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Anna Tunnicliffe (USA)." Solid day on the water with 5 wins (NZL, FRA, ESP, FIN, USA) and 1 loss (GBR). This puts us in 1st place overall in pool B.
Tomorrow we progress to the Gold Fleet race off!!! In this round the top 3 from pool A and B race a round Robbin to seed the places from 1st to 6th. We then progress to the Quarterfinals. Stage 1 - Group B: 1-Olivia Price, Nina Curtis, Lucinda Whitty - AUS : 7 wins - 1 loss 2-Lucy Macgregor, Annie Lush, Kate Macgregor - GBR : 6 - 2 3-Tamara Echegoyen, Angela Pumariega, Sofía Toro - ESP : 5 - 3 4-Claire Leroy, Elodie Bertrand, Marie Riou - FRA : 5 - 3 5-Stephanie Hazard, Jenna Hansen, Susannah Pyatt - NZL : 4 - 4 6-Silja Lehtinen, Silja Kanerva , Mikaela Wulff - FIN : 3 - 5 7-Genny Tulloch, Jennifer Chamberlin , Alice Manard Leonard - USA : 3 - 5 8-Silke Hahlbrock, Vera Dubina, Irina Lotsmanova - GER : 2 - 6 9-Stephanie Roble, Maggie Shea, Darby Smith - USA : 1 - 7 After a wait in the morning on shore for the wind to develop, a nice steady 8-12 knot sea breeze filled in for most of the day on the Women's Match Racing course at the 43rd Trofeo S.A.R. Princesa Sofia MAPFRE in Palma de Mallorca, Spain for the first European stop of the 2011-2012 ISAF Sailing World Cup. The initial round robin stage of the event is split into two groups of nine teams each. As all of the Olympic hopefuls are here to compete, each group is brimming with talent and all of the matches, as expected, are very hard fought. Group A sees the two American teams of Anna Tunnicliffe and Sally Barkow leading the way with 3 wins each from four matches sailed. Group B only started racing near 18h00 this evening, so only two flights were completed with the teams of Lucy Macgregor (GBR), Tamara Echegoyen (ESP), Olivia Price (AUS), and Claire Leroy (FRA) each going undefeated. Tuesday will see many more flights planned to complete the round robins to select who will move into the Gold Group and automatically into the Quarter Finals and who will need to sail in the Repechage (or second chance) round robin to try to join the Gold Group in the Quarter Finals. Results after Day One: Stage 1 - Group A: Anna Tunnicliffe, Molly Vandemoer, Debbie Capozzi - USA : 3 wins - 1 loss Sally Barkow, Elizabeth Kratzig-Burnham , Alana O'Reilly - USA : 3 - 1 Mandy Mulder, Annemiek Bekkering , Merel Witteveen - NED : 2 - 1 Ekaterina Skudina, Elena Siuzeva, Elena Oblova - RUS : 3 - 2 Silvia Roca, Eva Gonzalez, Lara Cacabelos - ESP : 3 - 2 Lotte Meldgaard, Susanne Boidin, Tina Gramkov - DEN : 2 - 2 Renee Groeneveld, Annemiek Bes , Marcelien de Koning - NED : 2 - 2 Anna Kjellberg, Malin Källström , Lotta Harrysson - SWE : 1 - 3 Rita Gonçalves, Mariana Lobato, Diana Neves - POR : 0 - 5 Stage 1 - Group B: Lucy Macgregor, Annie Lush , Kate Macgregor - GBR : 2 -0 Tamara Echegoyen, Angela Pumariega , Sofía Toro - ESP : 2 - 0 Olivia Price, Nina Curtis , Lucinda Whitty - AUS : 2 -0 Claire Leroy, Elodie Bertrand , Marie Riou - FRA : 1 - 0 Stephanie Roble, Maggie Shea , Darby Smith - USA : 1 - 1 Stephanie Hazard, Jenna Hansen, Susannah Pyatt - NZL : 0 -1 Silja Lehtinen, Silja Kanerva , Mikaela Wulff - FIN : 0 - 2 Genny Tulloch, Jennifer Chamberlin , Alice Manard Leonard - USA : 0 -2 Silke Hahlbrock, Vera Dubina, Irina Lotsmanova - GER : 0 - 2 Today the ONLY girls rode up and smashed Campo die Fiori!!!

Olivia Price has her sights set on London. THIS sailor has the London Olympics in sight. Olivia Price, 19, is skipper of a three-woman team who won silver at the Miami Olympic Class Regatta recently, putting her one step closer to the Olympics in July. For the Drummoyne resident, the Olympics has been a childhood dream. “I’ve always wanted to go to the Olympics, just never known what for,” she said. Her team is one of two vying for the coveted Australian spot in the Olympic squad. “Over the next few months everyone will be pulling out everything they can,” Price said. Price did her HSC by correspondence due to sailing. WHAT IT TAKES -Five to six days sailing, four to seven hours each day -Seven days at the gym -Team has been sailing together since June last year -``We’re three girls who are really good friends,’’ Price said -Price was named sports citizen of the year for Canada Bay |
