The Story Behind the Record
Olympics.com reports that Tom Reuveny of Israel claimed gold in the men's windsurfing event at Paris 2024 on 2024-08-03. The Paris 2024 windsurfing class was iQFOiL, the foil-equipped Olympic windsurf board format that replaced RS:X for these Games. This treats Reuveny's victory as a discipline milestone for windsurf foiling because it was the first Olympic men's gold in the iQFOiL era.
Rules of the Beast
To qualify, the event must be the first Olympic men's iQFOiL windsurfing gold medal awarded in the foil-equipped Olympic windsurf class. The entry must use the official Olympic result or an official Olympic report. This first is specific to iQFOiL windsurfing, which replaced RS:X at Paris 2024 and uses a foil-equipped windsurf setup.
