The 2010 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship officially came to an end on the 17th July with the Closing Ceremony held at the poolside of the Sheraton Hotel in Istanbul.
Over the Championship close to 350 sailors representing 59 nations battled for the eight Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship titles at the 40th edition of the Youth Worlds. The Closing Ceremony was the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the medal winners and for everyone involved to give their thanks to the city of Istanbul, the host nation Turkey, the Turkish Yachting Federation and the suppliers and sponsors of the event for putting on such a marvelous championship.
Nazli Imre, Vice President of ISAF and President of the Turkish Yachting Federation, paid tribute to everyone who's been involved in making the championship a success. Nazli opened by stating, "Please do not forget that participation is as honourable as winning a medal."
Following the speeches the medal ceremonies began with ISAF medals in gold, silver and bronze were awarded to first, second and third overall finishers in each event (see full details below). The Volvo Trophy was presented to France, the top-performing nation at the championship.
