Racing, including the first sailing Medal races, was delayed on Day 7 of the Tokyo Games Sailing events at Enoshima, Japan, due to the lack of wind early in the day.
The women’s RS:X medal race was won by Charline Picon of France, with Emma Wilson of Britain second and Yunxiu Lu of China third.
This gave Gold to Yunxiu Lu with 32 points, Silver to Charline Picon with 38 points and the Bronze to Wilson, also finishing with 38 points but losing out to Picon on final race count back.
In the men’s RS:X medal race, Kiran Badloe of the Netherlands only had to sail safely to take Gold.
But there was considerable drama as three competitors were called OCS at the start and removed from the race.
This took Mattia Camboni of France from a potential podium place, but despite his penalty Thomas Goyard of France was still able to claim the Silver, while China’s Kun Bi came through to take the Bronze.
Britain’s Tom Squires finished seventh overall.
Qualification racing continued for the other classes.
In the Finn class, Giles Scott of Britain added a fifth race win after finishing sixth in the first race of the day (R8) giving him a six point overall lead from Joan Cardona (-13, 7) of Spain.
Behind Scott in race 8 it was Max Salminen (4, 2) of Sweden and Holland’s Nicholas Heiner (10, 3).
Winner of the first race was Josh Junior (1, 4) of New Zealand, ahead of Tom Ramshaw of Canada (2, 9), with third Zsombor Berecz (3, 5) of Hungary who remains in third place overall.
The men’s 49er completed their qualifcation series with three races, with New Zealand’s Pete Burling and Blair Tuke (5, 2, 11) top of the leaderboard, but only by four points.
In second place are Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell of Britain (9, 6, 7) tied on 56 points with Spain’s Diego Botin and Iago Lopez (4,12,6), these three teams having a ten point buffer to the chasing pack.
Race wins on Saturday went to: Race 10 Sime Fantela and Mihovil Fantela CRO, race 11 Lukasz Przybytek and Pawel Kolodzinski POL and the final race to Ireland’s Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove.
In the women’s 49erFX skiff, Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (12, 2, 10) of Brazil will take a one point lead into the Medal race.
In second place are Annemiek Bekkering and Annette Duetz (5, 12, -16) of Holland and third are Germany’s Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke (7,3,3).
Britain’s Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey (15, 4, -18) struggled again in the lighter conditions slipping to fifth overall behind Spain’s Tamara Echegoyen and Paula Barcelo.
The race winners came from further down the fleet: Race 10 Victoria Travascio and Maria Sol Branz ARG, race 11 Kimberly Min Lim and Rui Qi Cecilia Low SGP and race 12 Shasha Chen and Ye Jin of China.
The Medal races for the 49er and 49erFX events are on Monday 2 August.
In the Nacra 17 Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti (8, 3, 2) of Italy extend their lead, now six points ahead John Gimson and Anna Burnet (5, -10, 1) after 9 races.
Paul Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer (3, 2, 8) of Germany retain third place, while Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin (1, 5, 4) of Australia move above Spain’s Tara Pacheco and Florian Trittel (7, 1, 7).
The Nacra 17 have three races to go.
