Stephanie's Olympic Team Racing finished with 5 wins out of 11

Stephanie Hazard, 22, of Matakana and ex-Mahurangi Student, is skipper  of the first-ever NZ Women’s Olympic Match Racing Team. Stephanie is sailing alongside team mates Susannah Pyatt, 21, from the North Shore and Jenna Hansen, 25, from Whangarei. 

'It’s always been a dream that one day I would get to compete there. ", says Stephanie,. "Olympic Gold is as good as it gets and it just feels amazing to think we have a shot at maybe standing on the winner’s podium while they play the NZ anthem. It’s all going to boil down to how well we prepared and who sails best on the day. Susannah, Jenna and I have sailed together for about 18 months. Our best performance as a team was when we came fifth in Palma, Spain, in the ICF World Cup – the circuit for all the top Olympic sailing countries in our class. Placing fifth gave us a great boost in confidence – it showed us that we could do it."

Day 4 Update- 5th equal

Stephanie Hazard, Jenna Hansen and Susannah Pyatt's match race win was hard fought for and well deserved in this new Olympic discipline. They incurred a penalty in the pre start and although they led from the first cross upwind, they had to find just the right way and time to clear their penalty, and they succeeded. They lost their first race to team USA earlier in the day so now this crew are placed fifth equal overall in the round robin, and just three races remain to determine which eight teams will progress to the quarter finals.
