Israeli windsurfer עדי מילוא concluded the U23 World Championships in ninth place after a frustrating day of racing. She was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the medal races, which were hampered by light winds and cancellations.
Milo, representing the Eilat Center for Marine Education and Sports, reached the quarterfinals from ninth place in the preliminaries. Over the five-day competition, which featured 148 participants from 34 countries, she consistently ranked in the top ten, demonstrating notable stability.
The quarterfinals began with winds at the minimum required seven knots. Milo led the first attempt until the final buoy, but the wind died, causing the race to be canceled. A second attempt was also stopped, with Milo again in a strong position. The third attempt concluded, but Milo finished fourth in that heat, failing to advance.
Two other Israeli sailors narrowly missed the medal races. פלג רג'ואן of Haifa Sailing Club finished 12th, just 8 points shy of tenth place, and מאיה בראל of Hapoel Tel Aviv Yacht Club was 13th. Both were outside the top ten cutoff for the medal races.
Assistant coaches מאיה מוריס and גיא זיו accompanied the delegation, assisting coaches שחר צוברי and סתיו ביימל with the senior national teams. Other Israeli results included פלג רג'ואן (12th), מאיה בראל (13th), גור לביא פרג (24th), דן קאופמן (30th), and כפיר נוב (58th).
