Tess Lloyd's 2020 49erFX olympic results

Published Sat 31 Jul 2021

Congratulations Tess on your Olympic regatta in Tokyo.

Overall 13th.

We are so proud to call you an Olympian.

WOMEN’S SKIFF (49ER)

Tess Lloyd and Jaime Ryan wrapped up their Olympic regatta today having left everything and more on the race course. They tackled tricky winds and shifting courses on their way to another day of solid scores.

“I think we’ve got to be proud of ourselves and the effort we put in to get here,” Ryan said. “I think we will come away a bit disappointed with the result, we would have liked to have done better as we felt we were capable of more but that’s the nature of the Olympics.”

This was Lloyd’s first Olympics, one she wasn’t sure she was going to make after suffering a serious injury nine years ago. “It’s quite special for me and Jaime,” Lloyd said. “It’s been a long journey and I am just really happy to be here at the Olympics after everything that has gone on along the way.”

Ryan is backing up from sailing the 470 at the Rio Olympics, but the class of boat wasn’t the only difference this time around. “It has been really different to Rio,” Ryan concluded. “In many ways it has felt a lot like any other regatta as all the extra excitement has been taken away, but then again there have been a whole lot more processes and restrictions to get through including the COVID tests daily and all the extra safety and security processes that we have been operating under.”
