August 13, 2016 - The British Men’s and Women’s 470 crews get
into the business end of their events tomorrow (Sunday 14 August) both
currently occupying medal positions following today’s rest day. Both crews enjoyed a victory apiece from
their sole race on Friday, and the 470s are exactly midway through the
regatta having completed five races from their scheduled 10 race opening
series. It is believed the intention is for the 470s to try to get three
races under their belts on Guanabara Bay tomorrow to get them back on
schedule.
London silver medallists Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark head the
Women’s fleet by three points from Ai Kondo Yoshida and Miho Yoshioka
(JPN) currently in second. French 2016 World Champions, Camille
Lecointre and Hélène Defrance, are third.
Meanwhile Luke Patience and Chris Grube moved up to third overall
with Friday’s performance. Double World Champions, Sime Fantela and Igor
Marenic (CRO) lead the class with Australia’s three-time World
Champions, Mat Belcher and Will Ryan in second two points behind.
Patience and Grube are in third on 17 points.
The 470s are set to resume racing from 5pm tomorrow. Both 470s
classes are scheduled to contest an 11 race series, with two races per
day on 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15 August before the final one off medal race
on Wednesday 17 August.
