Red Bull Youth America's Cup Update, Fitness evaluation for the teams
from the following Sail-World article submitted by Irene Coruso
The Red Bull Youth America’s Cup Selection Series
provided on the first day an illustration of the massive expectations on the
youth teams who have congregated in San Francisco for a shot at advancing to
September’s regatta.
The teams were put through their paces on shore
by Sports Directors Roman Hagara and Hans-Peter Steinacher, where the physical
demands of sailing an AC45 wing sail catamaran were made clear through an
exhausting fitness evaluation.
'That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever
done,' said Michael Ovenstone, a 22-year-old trimmer for South Africa’s
i’KaziKati team. 'I really feel the burning in my arms,' he said, while
massaging the inside of his forearms. 'I don’t know what muscle that is, but it
burns.'
