The venue for sailing at next year’s Olympic Games is set to host the 470 World Championships from tomorrow as athletes battle it out for gold medals and for some a place at Tokyo Olympic 2020.

Enoshima located around 60 kilometers south of the Japanese capital will welcome 184 athletes from 30 nations for the World Championships which conclude on Friday, August 9.

The event offers those sailors who have not already secured an Olympic berth the chance to qualify for the Tokyo Summer Games 2020.

Mat Belcher and Will Ryan of Australia, ranked number one in the world have already booked a spot at Tokyo 2020 and will be hoping to regain the world title from the French duo of Kevin Peponnet and Jeremie Mion.

Sweden’s Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergström who has finished inside the top four at 13 of the 16 events they have competed at could also challenge.

France’s Camille Lecointre and Aloise Retornaz will be among the favorites in the women’s event having won the European title earlier this year.
