CYCA Members and YSA alumni Olivia Price and Evie Haseldine are competing at the 49erFX World Championships in Lanzarote, Spain this week.

Price and Haseldine reunite for this week’s regatta after an injury enforced break. The pair are looking to improve upon their scores from the 2023 World Championships in the Hague, the Netherlands last August. The team earned a Bronze medal, securing Australia’s spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the 49erFX class.

“It’s exciting to be in Lanzarote for the worlds,” said Price. “It’s been a few months since I last raced after having knee surgery after the 2023 worlds, so it’s going to be about seeing as much as possible in the lead up, and then trying to execute the tactical racing we can expect here.

“It’s another time for us to test ourselves against the world after a summer in Sydney, but the whole FX squad has put in the time and effort, so we’re excited to just get racing.”
