The Brazilian champion Robert Scheidt (Star class silver at Beijing 2008, bronze at London 2012, Laser gold in Atlanta 1996 & Athens 2004 & silver in Sydney 2000), though preparing for Rio 2016 does not want to miss supporting the Brazilian team competing in the World Optimist Championships in Riva del Garda.
Scheidt some years ago decided to move to Garda Trentino, thanks to exceptional wind conditions ideal for the sailing.
During the race, with his Laser he approached the course area to follow the races of young Brazilian sailors engaged in the World Championships.
The Championship organized by Fraglia Vela Riva has 58 nations and the best 259 young sailors around the world.
A great example for all the participants, not only for Brazilian guys, a true idol considering the five Olympic medals and him being so determined to win another medal in Rio 2016!
