 OLYMPIC GAMES 2016  Rio de Janeiro BRA  Day 7
Yesterday, the full program was sailed in Rio in moderate winds around 10 kn.
The RS:X windsurfers were the first to conclude the Olympic Regatta with the Medal Races. Dorian Van Rijsselberghe NED and Nick Dempsey GBR were the premature Gold and Silver medalists and the interest was concentrated on the fight for Bronze. Pierre Le Coq FRA replaced Piotr Myszka POL on rank 3. The RS:X women Medal Race was very close. The leading Flavia Tartaglini ITA finished only on rank 9 and dropped out of the Medals on 4th. After a close fight between Charline Picon FRA and Peina Chen CHN, it was the French women grasping Gold just one point better. Stefania Elfutina RUS won the Bronze Medal after an impressive comeback from far behind after a missed start.
Giles Scott GBR made everything clear in the Finns winning a race also yesterday und securing the Gold Medal before the Medal Race. Vasilij Zbogar SLO is on a good way for Silver (his 3rd !), and only Ivan Klijakovic CRO could threaten him. But the Croate will probably be busy enough to defend Bronze against the all-out attacks from Caleb Paine USA and Max Salminen SWE t points behind. The Swede won Gold in the Starboats in London/Weymouth.
An overthrow happened in the Nacra-17 qualification races where the clearly leading Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin AUS had two bad races and dropped on rank 5. The veteran Santiago Lange (three times olympic Tornado medalist) with Cecilia Carranza ARG hs taken the lead 5 points ahead of Vittorio Bisarro/Silvia Secouri ITA. Thomas Zajac/Tanja Frank AUT follow on rank 3. The fleet is closely together and 7 teams can still hope for Medal.
The two 470 fleet sailed two races each. In the men, Sime Fantela/Igor Marenic CRO esxtended their lead on 11 points, Belcher/Ryan AUS and Mantis/Kagialis GRE follow on the ranks 2 and 3. Three more qualification races are on the program.
Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark GBR remain on top of the 470 women. Anne Haeger/Briana Provancha USA and Lara Vadlau/Jolanta Ogar AUT are new on the ranks 2 and 3.
