Launeston windsurfer Sam Sills is breathing a sigh of relief after sealing Team GB an Olympic quota spot at the Allianz Sailing World Championships.
"I had a really good start early in the week and probably could have gone all the way to the medals but my semi-final performance was quite hard."Getting that quota spot means that we can now prioritise getting ready for Paris and hopefully will give us a good advantage.
"It's a huge relief, because if we didn't do it now, it would make the whole qualifying lot more complicated."We're just thrilled to do it now and I can breathe a sigh of relief." Sills started his year riding the highs of gold at the Princesa Sofia Regatta and silver at the iQFoil Games. But a recent injury, having been knocked off his scooter on the way to training, resulted in a disappointing performance at the Olympic Test Event in Marseille last month.
