The US Sailing Team has announced the slate of 14 athletes who will represent the United States at this year's Paris 2024 Test Event taking place in Marseille, France July 7-16.
The Test Event will closely mirror the Olympic Games competition, with each country sending one boat per class.
What is the Test Event?
The Test Event is used as a "dress rehearsal" and will operate in the same format as the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Test Events traditionally provides event organizers and Olympic authorities the opportunity to test personnel and venue staging, working to eliminate flaws in their plans in the lead up to the Olympic Games.
What's on the line?
The Paris 2024 Test Event is the first opportunity for US athletes to earn a nomination to Team USA for Paris 2024.
According to US Sailing's Paris 2024 Selection Procedures, a finish on the podium (first, second, or third) will serve as "early selection" and the athlete(s) will lock in their nomination for Paris, thus closing Trials for their class.
Any classes whose representatives do not finish on the podium will enter "late selection" in 2024, details of which can be found here.
