MARTINE GRAEL/KAHENA KUNZE (BRA)|
| | Nomination |
Following her previous
success at Rio 2016 Martine
chilled out for a while by
competing in the Volvo
Ocean Race on AkzoNobel –which she was
aboard when the Dutch entry broke the
24-hour record set by her father Torben 10
years before. Now there is talk in Brazil of
Martine hooking up with Dad and her now
double gold medal 49er FX crew in the
2022 Ocean Race. There are plenty more fast
Graels to make up the numbers if needed
