OLYMPIC GAMES 2016 - Rio de Janeiro BRA - Day 6

Sunday, August 14, 2016   
The US Sailing Team Report and the overall comments on the competition below.

On day 6, the Lasers concluded the Qualification Series and already now,
some premature decisions re the Medals have been made before the Medal Races on Monday. Tonci Stipanovic CRO and Tom Burton AUS in the Lasers Standard and Marit Bouwmeester NED in the Lasers Radial will receive Olympic metal. What quality will be decided in the Medal Race.
Stipanovic CRO has a solid 10 points' lead on Burton AUS and another 10 points back follows Sam Meech NZL. Marit Bouwmeester NED defended her first place in the Radials yesterday, but theorectically, Anne-Marie Rindom DEN at 5 points and Annalise Murphy IRL at 10 points could still snatch Gold.
The Finns sail the last Qualification Races today. Should Giles Scott GBR continue with his winning streak, he would become the premature Olympic Champion 2016 by this evening already, as his advantage on Vasilij Zbogar SLO is already 16 points. Jack Lilley AUS moved up on rank 3 yesterday.
The Nacra 17 will complete the last 3 Qualification races today as well. Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin AUS still hold the lead closely followed by Santiago Lange/Cecilia Carranza ARG and Ben Saxton/Nicola Groves GBR.
Peter Burling/Blair Tuke NZL remained first in the 49ers, but not as convincingly as expected, and the first challengers Erik Heil/Thomas Plössel GER are only 2 points behind. Przybytek/Kolodsinski POL are now on rank 3. The 6 Qualification races ahead will be crucial, as nothing has been decided yet.
Jena Hansen/Katja Salskov DEN have taken the lead in the 49erFX ahead of Martine Grael/Kahena Kunze BRA and Alexandra Maloney/Molly Meech at equal points.
All ranking lists and the official report.
