Full recap of results from the Rio Olympics sailing events on Sunday, August 14th.

On Sunday, Team Netherlands had a very good day in the medal races in men’s and women’s RS: X windsurfers. On the men’s side, Dorian van Rijsselberghe came in first place for the Netherlands, followed by Ivan Pastor of Spain and Chun Leung Michael Cheng of Hong Kong, China. Van Rijsselberghe has been dominating the men’s RS: X preliminaries and it’s no surprise that he’s the gold medalist.

The medal race for the women’s RS: X windsurfers was a tight race between a group of women who all had strong showings in the preliminaries. Lilian de Geus of the Netherlands came in first, taking the gold medal, followed by Charline Picon of France with silver, and Chen Peina of China with bronze. Brazilian Patricia Freitas came in fourth place.

On Monday, racing continues with the final preliminaries in the men’s and women’s 470 dinghies and men’s and women’s 49er skiffs. Monday also brings the medal race in women’s laser radial dinghies and men’s laser dinghies.
