Day 4 of the event dawned upon Miyakojima, Japan, marking another chapter in the iQGames #1 saga. This tropical paradise once again graced us with amazing racing conditions, boasting gentle winds ranging from 8 to 14 knots, creating a picturesque backdrop for the day's events.

The race committee managed to do 5 races for both men and women within the time frame of only 2 hours. This gave everyone enough time to join the beach cleanup after the racing which was organized by the event organization. A sad thing as we managed to find about 3x more plastic and other trash on the beach compared to last year.
Today also marked the culmination of the qualifying series, as we are moving on to the Medal series tomorrow. In this next phase, the top 10 will emerge through three elimination-style races, where only the top two contenders will advance to the next round.
Tomorrow promises not only the honor of winning the event there is also the allure of substantial prize money. As they are racing for the win, they also vie for a share of the prize purse, which will provide crucial support for their travel, gear, and event expenses throughout the year.
Stay tuned for the latest updates and witness the unfolding drama at the iQGames Miyakojima 2024!
