Hello All Oppie Sailors You are invited to 2022 Optimist Selection Event! Location: Club Mykonos, Langebaan Dates: Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:00 – Sun 03 Apr 2022 15:00 PLEASE NOTE: This regatta is open to all Optimist sailors that meet the selection requirements. Ineligible Optimist sailors who wish to participate in the regatta will be accepted at the discretion of the organisers. To avoid doubt ineligible sailors who sail the selection regatta will only be considered for selection to the South African Optimist Sailing team if there are insufficient sailors to fill the team. Kind Regards Optimist Sailing SA 1 March 2022 Today World Sailing joined the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and global sports organisations in taking the decision to suspend participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in World Sailing owned and sanctioned competitions and events until further notice. By implementing these measures, World Sailing is supporting a united and coordinated approach within the global sports movement. This decision is in line with the IOC Executive Board’s recommendation, aimed at preserving the integrity of competitions and ensuring the safety of all participants, and has been unanimously agreed by the World Sailing Executive Board. We are now strongly urging our Member National Authorities, Class Associations, affiliated bodies, and all event organisers to implement the measure to suspend the participation of Russian or Belarusian athletes and officials in their respective events and competitions. Where this is not possible, due to short time frames, for organisational, or legal reasons, World Sailing, in line with the IOC Executive Board recommendation, is advising event organisers do everything in their power to ensure that Russian or Belarusian athletes (be it as individuals or teams), and officials participate neutrally, without national symbols, colours, flags or anthems. Both on and off the water, our sport is united by the values of equality, inclusion, respect and fairness. We are now asking our sailing family to come together as a sporting force for good by working with us at this incredibly difficult time.You’re Invited!
