Emma Wilson kept her cool in the Women’s Windsurfing to extend her advantage at the top of the standings.
After the Marathon Race had to be abandoned due to a lack of wind, the British athlete responded with three race wins, putting her 19 points clear of the rest of the pack.
Israel’s Sharon Kantor is the closest competition to Wilson and she was also the only other windsurfer to pick up a win today.
Italy’s Marta Maggetti retained her place behind Kantor with three finishes in the top five, keeping her firming in the hunt for a medal.
Maggetti said: “I’m happy about the last Slalom course. A bit exhausted as well. I’m happy and I’m staying focused and my results are pretty constant, so I hope it stays like this.
“I really want to get a medal so I’m happy I’m still close to this.”
Men’s Windsurfing: New leader from Australia, Grae Morris.
After leading the Men’s Windsurfing, Luuc van Opzeeland suffered a horrible day including a disqualification from Race 8 along with some late-afternoon scores outside the top 10.
The Dutchman drops to fourth overall, although so close are the points he’s still only six points behind new leader from Australia, Grae Morris.
Pawel Tarnowski from Poland is enjoying a solid series to maintain second place, a point behind Morris and two points in front of Israel’s Tom Reuveny. Reigning World Champion Nicolo Renna is back in seventh, but the Italian has an uncanny knack of saving his best for last.
Britain’s Sam Sills is in 8th so still in with a chance of the Medal Series.
The iQFOil Medal Races are Friday for the top ten.
