Laser Radial - Women World Championship 2016 - Nuevo Vallarta MEX - Gold for Alison Young GBR

As expected considering the minor points' gaps between the top athletes, the last two races at the Laser Women's Worlds had much excitement. The winds remained moderate with 8-10 kn in the first and up to 15 kn with lull zones below 10 kn in the second heat.
Paige Railey USA defended her top position in the first race, but Alison Young GBR replaced her on rank one by a single point with a start to finish victory in the final race. The defending champion Anne-Marie Rindom DEN grasped Bronze while Marit Bouwmeester NED, dominator of the season, had to content herself with rank 4. Gintare Scheidt-Volungeviciute LTU, Olympia-Silver 2008, finishing on rank 5, is more and more on her way up after her baby pause. The astonishing Erika Reinecke USA is 6th. Best of the day yesterday (ranks 2/2) was the Olympic Champion Lijia Xu CHN on the 7th place overall. Brenda Bowskill CAN is 10th, Elia Tania Calles MEX 28th.
