Olympic windsurfing

Olympic windsurfing, also known as kiteboarding or sailboarding, is a sailing sport where athletes ride a board powered by a sail attached to a flexible mast. Competitors navigate a course on the water, using wind to propel and steer the board. Precision, agility, and strategy are essential as they maneuver around markers, execute jumps, and handle changing wind conditions. The sport combines elements of sailing and surfing, requiring skill to balance, control the sail, and optimize speed. It is contested over several races, with the sailor earning points based on performance, aiming to accumulate the lowest total for victory.
