Second gold medal
Vadlau and Mähr are also “blown away” by Bontus
Just one day after Lara Vadlau and Lukas Mähr sailed to their first gold medal for Austria, kitesurfer Valentin Bontus followed suit. Find out how the two reacted to their colleague's triumph here.
Lukas Mähr (470 Olympic champion):
"We watched Valentin's medal race live on the beach in Marseille. He put on a fantastic show. We were blown away. The fact that he sailed so confidently to the gold medal is fantastic. We are totally proud to be part of this great sailing team."
Lara Vadlau (470 Olympic champion):
"Hats off, huge respect. So cool that he practically got the same today. So confident! We are simply proud of Vali."
Roman Hagara (double Olympic champion):
"He pulled it off over the last two days, it was an incredible performance. It's unbelievable that he pulled it off like that. I'm incredibly happy for the whole team, we really have a strong team here. He is characterized by his relaxed attitude, he doesn't stress himself at all. He knows what he can do. Of course he was also fast, we unpacked a few things for the Olympic Games at the end, which may have made the difference. He dominated it, the gaps were actually insanely big for kiting. You couldn't wish for more."
Karl Nehammer (Federal Chancellor):
"Amazing! What a great victory for Valentin Bontus! He raced to Olympic gold in kitesurfing and is the first Olympic champion in this sport! Congratulations!"
Werner Kogler (Vice-Chancellor):
"Oh, how nice it is! Valentin Bontus has won the second medal of the day for Austria at the Summer Games in Paris - and it's gold! Congratulations to Valentin Bontus for this phenomenal performance and congratulations to the Austrian Sailing Federation on their second gold medal."
Emma Spitz (golfer):
"There's a lot to be happy about, I think it's really cool when others win medals. We are almost a sailing or surfing nation, as Austria we are often referred to as Australia anyway, maybe we really are by the sea."
