Finland's Tuula Tenkanen sits in third after receiving redress for a collision prior to the start of race 3. While luffing before the start, Tenkanen's boat was hit from behind by the Brazilian sailor's boat, breaking her rudder fitting. Because the Laser is supplied equipment at the Olympics and because Tenkanen was unable to start the race, she was awarded redress equal to her average finish.
Top 3 after four races:
1. Xu Lijia (CHN) - 7
2. Annalise Murphy (IRL) - 12
3. Tuula Tenkanen (FIN) - 13.3
