Robert Scheidt (BRA)|
| | Nomination |
God, we love this page: and we know that picking one winner can be soooo hard. Robert Scheidt's record in the Laser Class. Will never, ever be beaten. There, we said it. After a sloppy - for him - start at home in Brazil, Scheidt eventually won his eighth (sic) Laser world title with a race to spare. Being a class act he sailed the final race anyway, won it, and so took his latest title by the astonishing margin of 34pt. Miracolo!
