The entry list for the Weymouth and Portland International Regatta 2011, the London 2012 Olympic Test Event, has been finalised.
Sixty six nations have submitted the names of the 460 sailors who will test the conditions at Weymouth and Portland one year ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition.
For many of Member National Authorities there has been a selection headache with nations following game time rules where only one athlete per event is allowed.
In the Finn class Great Britain’s Ben Ainslie was selected ahead of Giles Scott and Ed Wright, Spain’s Marina Alabau received the nod ahead of Blanca Manchon and Anna Tunnicliffe (USA) lost out to Sally Barkow (USA).

The Men’s and Women’s RS:X begin on 4 August followed by the Laser, Laser Radial and Men’s and Women’s 470 on 5 August before the Finn, 49er and Star sailors begin their competition on 6 August.
