470 - World Championship 2016 - Buenos Aires ARG - Day 4

For the first time, the day started with enough wind allowing both fleets to complete the full program with three races in a 10-12 kn breeze. Today, another two Final Series races are planned to select the 10 best per fleet for Saturday's Medal Races.
With another race win, Camille Lecointre/Hélène Defrance FRA consolidated the first place in the 470 women. New on rank 2, finishing as day's best on the ranks 7/1/2, are Xiaoli Wang/Lizhu Huang CHN. The USA surprise team Sydney Bolger/Carly Shevitz USA follows on rank 3 ahead of the defending champions Vadlau/Ogar AUT.
Leader change in the 470 men, as the previous first Ashenati/Hudson RSA finished three times in the twenties. Snow-Hansen/Willcox NZL are on top ahead of Fantela/Marenic CRO. Belcher/Ryan AUS are now already on 3rd with a 9 points' backlog on the leaders. The battle for the Medal Race will be exciting today, as the ranks 9 to 12 are separated by 9 points only.
