Italy’s Olivia Castaldi and Francesco Carrieri come out on top after 13 high-intensity races each over two days, each claiming €5,000 (£4,223) in prize money.

The invitation-only WASZP All-Stars Cádiz delivered an action-packed weekend of high-speed foiling, with an elite fleet of 16 sailors, eight men and eight women from across the globe . . . No consolation prizes, just two champions taking home the cash.

Olivia Castaldi and Francesco Carrieri led the event after the first day, completing 26 races across the two divisions, 13 for the men and 13 for the women.

In the Men’s 8.2, day 2 saw Carrieri deliver another commanding performance, combining consistency and race-winning pace to finish with a clear buffer and secure the All-Stars crown and his €5,000.

In the Women’s 7.5 Olivia Castaldi held her nerve through a fiercely contested women’s fleet, finishing on 33 points to claim the title and her €5,000 winner’s prize.
