Agnieszka Bilska triumphs in 2011 RS:X Youth World Windsurfing Championship at Cagliari in Sardinia
Poland’s windsurfer, Agnieszka Bilska displayed some excellent surfing skills on Sardinia shores to hit the top spot in the final standings of the tournament with 11 points. The girls’ fleet was first on the schedule for Medal Races on Cagliari waters.
The Polish started cleanly, leading the fleet from the very beginning followed by compatriot, Kamila Smektala, who chased her hard. Overtaking Bilska seemed impossible for Smektala, as she would have to finish with six boards ahead of Bilska to win the title.
As for the atmosphere around the racing area, they were ideal with superb conditions and Bilska had the ability, polished by experience to surf tremendously under such circumstances.
Bilska wounded her way through the slalom after three laps to clinch the Medal Race victories along with the 2011 RS:X Youth World Championship girls division. Smektala closely followed her to take the silver position after securing 25 points. Another Polish
surfer, Barbara Dmuchowska managed to finish third for the bronze medal with 43 points.
