Zhik sailors win 18 of 30 medals contested at the 2016 Rio Olympics Zhik
The 2016 Olympic games are over and what a Games they have been!

Zhik sailors won almost 60% of the medals contested at Rio de Janeiro. It was a regatta which tested sailors and gear - with one day being the most severe conditions ever experienced at an Olympic regatta.

For the Zhik team riders on the waters of Rio, four years and more of hard work and dedication have paid off for many. This year Zhik team riders won a magnificent total of 18 Medals, (17 in Sailing and one in Kayaking)!

That's 17 sailing medals out of a total of 30 contested in 10 events by 380 sailors from 66 countries.

Well done and a huge congratulations to all the podium winners and all other Zhik team riders who fought so hard.

Zhik couldn’t be more proud to be a part of your journey.
