As one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year approaches, we are thrilled to extend our best wishes to some of our supported sailors as they prepare to compete in the 2024 Games.

This event represents the pinnacle of dinghy racing. We have witnessed our athletes' dedication, skill, and perseverance in the lead-up to the Games, and we are incredibly proud to support such influential individuals who consistently push the boundaries of excellence in the sport. Join us in cheering them on as they chase their dreams. Meet our Sailors:

Monika Mikkola - ILCA 6 (Women's Dinghy) - Finland

We have been working with Monika for the past six years and have proudly watched her grow and excel. It's been amazing to see her establish herself at the forefront of the ILCA 6 fleet. We wish her the best of luck at the Games.

Hernán Umpierre & Fernando Diz - 49er (Men's Skiff) - Uruguay

New to the Rooster Team this year, Hernán and Fernando have already achieved impressive results in the lead-up to the Games. We are excited to cheer these talented sailors on as they compete on the world stage.

Elena Vorobeva - ILCA 6 (Women's Dinghy) - Croatia

A long-time member of the Rooster Team, Elena is heading to her third Games this year. As one of the most experienced sailors on the start line, we wish her all the best for the competition.

Ebru Bolat - ILCA 6 (Women's Dinghy) - Romania

Another new team member and friend of Rooster, Ebru secured her spot at the Games by taking the top position at the Last Chance Regatta in April. We are excited to see her represent Romania and wish her the best of luck.
