 Olympic Classes  Copa do Brasil  Rio de Janeiro BRA  Day 5, 5 USTeams in the Medal Races today
Yesterday, the Qualification Series for today's Medal Races were concluded.
The Olympic Champions Matthew Belcher/Will Ryan AUS dominated once more the 470 men and are the premature winners of the Copa 30 points ahead of Fantela/Marenic CRO who will fight for Silver or Bronze with McNay/Hughes USA. Luke Patience GBR with his new crew Chris Grube GBR has a theoretical chance to make the podium in the last race. In the 470 women, the leading Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark GBR are 9 points ahead of Lecointre/Defrance FRA. Kondo/Yoshioka JPN follow on 3rd.
Pink/Bithell GBR start in the Medal Race as leaders of the 49ers, with Lange/Lange ARG and Outteridge/Jensen AUS on the ranks 2 and 3. A duel between Tamara Echegoyen/Berta Betanzos ESP and Annemiek Bekkering/Anette Duetz NED 4 points behind will decide on the winner in the 49ersFX .
Only one point is the difference between Matthew Wearn AUS and Tonci Stipanovic CRO fighting for the title in the Lasers Standard, but the 3rd-ranked Robert Scheidt BRA with an 8 points' deficit could perhaps benefit from a close taking duel of the leaders and move on top. Evi Van Acker BEL seems to be on the save side with a 9 points' lead in the Lasers Radial. Marit Bouwmeester NED and Gintaer Scheidt LTU are on the ranks 2 and 3.
Giles Scott GBR has a 5 points' lead on Vasilij Zbogar SLO before the Medal Race of the Finns. First in the Nacra 17 Rankings are still Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin AUS, Billy Besson/Marie Riou FRA once more reduced the backlog to 1 point.
Dorian Van Rijsselberge NED starts in the Medal Race of the RS:X male windsurfers with a 9 points' lead. The heat is on in the RS:X women windsurfers with Chan Hei Man CHN and Bryony Shaw GBR on top at equal points.
