The iQFOiL goes to Nicolò Renna, who won the European Championships in 2023, the World Championships this year and will make his Olympic debut in France. In the same boat, but on the women's side, there will be Marta Maggetti: world champion in 2022, the Italian will try to improve on the fourth place in Tokyo obtained on the RS:X.

The final addition to the roster is Lorenzo Brando Chiavarini, who, after years of representing Great Britain (where he became European champion in 2019), will now compete for the Italia Team in the ILCA 7 class at Paris 2024.
