News Archive Women's Sailing

Yesterday afternoon, the seabreeze filled in lighter as forecast with about 10 kn. According to the program, each class sailed two (49ers three) races. Inspite of some worse results (4/8), Leboucher/Garros FRA (see the video-interview taken during the jogging !) kept their first place in the 470 men, two points ahead of Marinho/Nunes POR and the day's best Kampouridis/Papadopulos GRE on rank 3. Position changes also in the 470 women, but Ainsworth/Weguelin GBR remained on top. New on rank 2 are the surprising Skrzypulec/Ogar POL just in front of Rol/Defrance FRA. Evans/Powys GBR are the new leaders in the 49ers after the races 4 to 6, together with the tied Warrer/Hansen DEN. Eight points behind follow Ekberg/Torlén SWE and Schadewaldt/Baumann GER on the ranks 3 and 4, also with the same number of points. Ben Ainslie GBR ruled the show in the Finns with the day ranks 1 and 2 (see the Finn class report). Daniel Birgmark SWE and Jonas Hoegh-Christensen DEN follow at some distance on 2 and 3. Pepper/Turner NZL defended their first position despite of mediocre race ranks. Echevarri/Rivero ESP follow on rank 2, the Olympic champions Percy/Simpson GBR are now 3rd on their way up. Both Women Matchrace groups terminated their Round Robin. Anna Tunnicliffe USA is on top of Group A ahead of Sally Barkow USA (both 6-2). In Group B, Olivia Price AUS (7-1) leads ahead of Lucy McGregor GBR (6-2). All ranking lists, the official daily report and the videos of the day, a.o. with an interview with Ben Ainslie GBR.
