Torben Grael, the sailor who is going to represent Brazil at the Olympics in Athens, praised the organisation of Club Nautic l'Escala and joked about not being used to this cold weather. He also dared to mention some of the probable winners, for instance, the Swede frederik Lööf, number one at the worlds ranking, the British Ian Percey or the French Pascal Rambeau, the winner of the World Championship held in Cadiz.
