With two bullets yesterday, Evi Van Acker BEL is now only 5 pts behind leader Marit Bouwmeester NED in the Laser Radial class, and the medal race (with double points) for the overall win will be very tight. Veronica Fenclova CZE has to defend her 3rd place against Tina Mihelic CRO who's 7 pts behind.
The decision in the Lasers Standard has an odds-on favorite in Tom Slingsby AUS who has a 16-point lead and a predilection for big breeze, which is forecast for today. Behind him a big fight is shaping up between Nick Thompson GBR, Matias del Solar CHI and Javier Hernandez ESP, who are separated by only 6 pts. Olympic Champion Paul Goodison GBR follows in 6th. Christoph Bottoni SUI with his third race win in this regatta yesterday is in 7th. The program for today: Course Orange: 10:50 Laser Standard Medal Race; 11:30 Laser Radial Medal Race. Course Blue: 12:00 Laser Standard Gold/Silver R10. The daily report and the video of the Friday races.
