Výsledky a komentáre k olympijským regatám jedenástich olympijských tried. 2 Olympijský ohe ň v prístave Qingdao, kde sa konali jachtárske olympijské regaty. 3 VŠEOBECNE. S ve ľkou pozornos ťou sa po celú Olympiádu 2005 až 2008 ostro sledovali v celom sve- tovom športe prípravy na Olympijské Hry v Beijingu. My jachtári sme boli zvedaví najmä na Qingdao, ktoré malo by ť miestom, kde sa mala uskuto čni ť jachtárska čas ť a hlavne na to aké podmienky na pretekárov čakajú. O jachtárskom revíre pred týmto 5 miliónovým prístavným mestom, chodili zlé správy od pretekárov, ktorí tam chodili pravidelne na skusy a na tréningy. Okrem toho Číňania usporadúvali každý rok v termíne olympijskej regaty, predolympijské medzinárodné preteky s tým istým formátom a zabezpečením aké mali by ť na OH. Dostávali sme teda správy o slabých vetroch, alebo opa čne o tajfúne, o silných a nevyspytate ľných prú- doch, o zne čistení vody, ako aj o zarastaní zálivu v ktorom majú by ť trate pre preteky zele- ným porastom álg. V správach a hlavne na obrázkoch sme s úžasom videli plachetnice tréno- va ť na „zelenej lúke". V skuto čnosti sa naozaj všetko potvrdilo a vä čšina rozjázd bola postih- nutá niektorou z týchto neregulárnych podmienok. V olympijských lodných triedach bola zmena len v kategórii žien, lebo trieda Europa, bola nahradená ve ľmi rozšírenou triedou Laser Radial. Formát pretekov bol nový, lebo pre všetky triedy okrem triedy 49er bolo vypísaných 11 a pre túto skifovú lo ď 16 rozjázd.
