World Sailing have published the Olympic classes World Rankings updated as at 21 June 2021.
These are the final rankings prior to the Tokyo Olympics.
Only the Allianz Regatta – the Medemblik regatta featuring the Olympic classes – results are added in the latest rankings. There were no ranking events for the 470 or the Finn classes.
Of the British Sailing Squad only Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre in the women’s 470 will compete at the Games as the World No.1.
John Gimson and Anna Burnet remain 3rd in the Nacra17 rankings, Emma Wilson is 4th in the women’s RS:X and Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey remain 5th in the 49erFX.
Tom Squires moves into 7th in the men’s RS:X, Giles Scott is 8th in the Finn, and Luke Patience and Chris Grube are 10th in the men’s 470.
Other Team GB member rankings are: Dylan Fletcher-Scott and Stuart Bithell 23rd in the 49er, Elliot Hanson 15th in the Laser and Alison Young 15th in the Radial.
Even with the disrupted season to blame, the numbers hardly suggest a world-shaking team.
But everyone is in the same boat, although the Brits should have an edge with their world-class coaching and training organisation covering their lack of competiton.
