OLYMPIC GAMES 2016 - Rio de Janeiro BRA - Day 3

Six of the 10 Olympic classes sailed yesterday, the Finns and Lasers on the offshore courses in fresh winds around 20 kn.
The Nacras 17 sailed close to the shore under the Sugarloaf Mountain in a rather unconstant difficult breeze. Two of the three planned races were completed. The first leaders are jointly Matias Bühler/Nathalie Brugger SUI and Ben Saxton/Nicola Grove GBR. Santiago Lange/Cecilia Carranza ARG follow as 3rd.
The two Laser fleets sailed out on the Atlantic course off the Copacabana in a 20 kn wind, and the experienced athletes are now in command after 6 races. In the Lasers Standard, Tonci Stipanovic CRO defended his first place. The best of the day and World Champion Nick Thompson GBR moved up on rank 2. As 3rd follows Rutger Van Schaardenburg NED. The new leader in the Lasers Radial is Annelise Murphy IRL one point ahead of Anne-Marie Rindom DEN - best of the day yesterday with the ranks 1 and 3. Another point behind is Marit Bouwmeester NED.
The 470 sailed also in the variable winds of the Guanabara Bay. With Fantela/Marenic CRO (yesterday 1/2) and Belcher/Ryan AUS (8/1), the most cited favorites are on top of the interim's rankings in the 470 men after the first two races. Snow-Hansen/Willcox NZL follow on rank 3. In the 470 women, Kondo/Yoshioka JPN (4/1) have taken the lead, as the defending Olympic Champions Aleh/Powrie NZL (dsq/1) are behind for the moment after a disqualification. Haeger/Provancha USA and Oliveira Barbachan BRA follow as 3rd at equal points.
In the fresh breeze on the Atlantic, Giles Scott GBR demonstrated his skills in the Finns taking the overall lead with the day ranks 1 and 2. Vasilij Zbogar SLO follows on rank 2 with a 5 points backlog. The surprise man Alican Kaynar TUR succeeded to keep the 3rd place also in a fresh wind.
