No change of leaders after three more races at the RS:X World Championships in Sorrento, Australia.
Noy Drihan (5,3,3) of Israel leads the women and Kiran Badloe (1,11,1) of Holland leads the men’s event.
Some shuffling of the podium places in the women’s event saw Holland’s Lilian de Geus (2,6,1) move into second and Maja Dziarnowska (20,18,4) of Poland slip to third place.
Britain’s Emma Wilson (3,2,15) gained a place to take fourth overall, just two points off the podium places.
Wilson, “The racing was so close all the way to the finish and I had two really good races. The last one was not as good but I made a comeback to make it a little better.”
Charline Picon of France had an outstanding day, winning the first two races, but her earlier poor scoring only saw her gain three places to seventh overall.
In the men, Kiran Badloe won two races to jump to a 25 point lead over Poland’s Pawel Tarnowski (16,19,2) with Shahar Zubari (2,1,12) also having a good day to move into third place.
Dorian van Rijsselberghe (25,3,5) slipped to fourth overall and looks like he will loose out to Badloe for the Dutch Olympic place.
Britain’s Tom Squires (3,20,20) had an up and down day, but gained a place to 11th overall. Andy Brown slipped to 18th overall.
Squires, “I was really struggling off the line and my lack of pace was making it difficult to get to the corners. It’s the first time I’ve struggled for pace in big breeze for years so I really need to get that sorted.”
