Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]
Medals were decided in ten Olympic events on Biscayne Bay under sunny skies and enough wind for good racing. This year’s regatta offered a little bit of everything, including success from former champions, major upsets, and a glimpse into the future of Olympic level one-design sailing.
Laser
World #2 Tonci Stipanovic (CRO) continued his winning ways and held on to his three point lead from Friday. He placed fifth Saturday, which was enough to win by four points over medal race winner and 2013 World Champion Robert Scheidt (BRA). Stipanovic, the 2013 European Champion, posted steady results throughout the week (2-(5)-1-1-2) leading up to today’s medal race.
Scheidt and Brazilian teammate Bruno Fontes placed one and two in the medal race. Nick Thompson (GBR) was third in the medal race, securing the bronze for the Briton.
"I was able to stay so consistent this week because I was confident in my light air technique,” said Stipanovic. "I was able to use that by getting off the line well. Coming here, I had no expectations because I didn’t do much training after the worlds. I was able to keep a clear mind throughout the event. After this, I will head back to Croatia and train there until the Palma [World Cup].”
Finn
The 2011 World Champion Giles Scott (GBR) made a successful come from behind victory on Saturday to take home the gold medal. Scott finished nine seconds behind Luke Lawrence (USA) for second place. Overnight leader Oliver Tweddell (AUS) slipped up with an eighth place finish Saturday after leading by nine points.
Tweddell earns another silver medal after finishing second at ISAF Sailing World Cup Melbourne. Jorge João Zarif (BRA) garnered bronze medal honours.
Scott had this say about his big day
, "It was a very difficult race and I played it very conservatively. Oli(ver) was a bit more high-risk. I managed to dial him down when I was coming down on the port layline on the downwind. That held him up another couple of boat lengths which confirmed it for me.”
