Britain’s Alison Young continued her fight-back on the third day of the Radial World Championship in Japan.
With Tokyo2020 hopes as well as a World title hanging on her performance in Sakaiminato this week, Young added a ninth place to her earlier 30th and 8th place scores to finish the day in 22nd overall.
This puts her behind team-mate Georgina Povall, who is in 18th place, but the overall positions do not yet reflect the discard.
When this is taken the worst score is dropped, for Young this would remove the 30th place leaving her with 8 and 9, while Povell would drop today’s 27 and count a 6 and 10 putting the British pair neck and neck overall.
But that is to come, the discard is taken after four races are completed.
The third British team member, Hannah Snellgrove, is in 35th place with a 29,13,20 scoreline.
Overall Josefin Olsson (1,2,3) of Sweden leads with 6 points from Norway’s Line Flem Høst (3,3,2) on 8 points.
Paige Railey (5,5,2) of the USA is now in third place on 12 points, with Marie Bolou (3,1,17) of France in fourth, Marit Bouwmeester of Holland in fifth and Ecem Güzel of Turkey sixth.
Race winners in the 3rd Flight races were: Emma Plasschaert BEL and Elena Vorobeva CRO.
