The Story Behind the Record
The official M2O records list Olivia Piana as the 2023 women's foil champion with a 2:57:01 time. The table spells the surname as Pana, but the athlete is Olivia Piana. The result continued the women's downwind foil time progression and pushed the official champion time under three hours. It is a course-specific record progression and should stay tied to the M2O race context.
Rules of the Beast
Eligible results must come from the official Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships foil division records or official race result publications. The attempt must be on the recognized Molokai to Oahu channel race course, with the athlete starting in the official foil start and finishing under event timing rules. Lower elapsed time wins. Official event requirements, such as board number stickers, race jerseys, GPS tracking backup, class wave starts, escort or unescorted safety rules, and finish-line athlete number communication, are treated as part of the record framework. Because the race course and annual conditions vary, these records are recorded as official race-course records, not as universal open-water speed records. This women's paddle-powered foil class tracks the official champion progression for the Molokai to Oahu foil course.
