European Junior Laser Radial Championship ended in Tallinn. The Russians did it successfully: Daniil Krutskikh became European Champion in overall classification (under 19), and Valeria Lomatchenko was second in the age group up to 17 years old.

Daniil won four races out of eight, but the rest of the races - 9, 22 and 26 - affected the overall result, so the points gap between the first, second and third place was insignificant: Krutskikh had 36 points, the silver and bronze medalists had 39 points each.

«All week we raced in strong winds and high waves. It was difficult to control the boat, but I trained a lot in such conditions in Italy with my father who is my coach - commented the winner. - At the World Championships in Ireland it was more complicated - unfortunately my main rivals from Spain and the Netherlands did not come to Tallinn. Therefore, my chances of winning in the Open class were better as well».

Krutskikh also performed successfully in Ireland, becoming world champion among juniors under 17.
