The 2025 WingFoil Racing World Cup China has come to a close, bringing together 70 competitors from 12 countries on Daishan Island, at the delta of the Yangtze River. The event, which offered 500 points and €60,000 in prize money, was a stage for cultural exchange and thrilling competition.
The conditions were challenging, with strong tidal currents pushing the competitors to their limits. Despite this, the competition was fierce from the start, with Kamil Manowiecki of Poland and Maddalena Spanu of Italy dominating the long-distance races on day one.
In the men’s division, Kamil Manowiecki took the top spot, followed by Mathis Ghio and Alessandro Tomasi. Manowiecki commented, “If the wind had come, I was keen to race, to finish it off in the right way. But either way, I’m happy to win the event.” Ghio added, “I was ready to perform, but the wind didn’t come.”
In the women’s division, Maddalena Spanu continued her dominance, winning all events of the season to date. She said, “I’m glad we didn’t race in the challenging conditions. After a good competition, I’m pleased we only had good quality racing.”
A special mention goes to 15-year-old Vaina Picot from France, who won bronze, marking a promising start to her career.
The 2025 WingFoil Racing World Cup China may be over, but the tour is far from finished. The next stop is coming up, and the final showdown foilers in Brazil in December. The excitement continues as the world’s top wingfoilers prepare for the next challenge.
