Olympics sailing results August 10th

Rough waters and unpredictable winds led to an inconsistent day of racing. Full Olympics sailing results for August 10^th.

Olympics sailing continued on Wednesday with a continuation of preliminaries in the finn, men’s laser, and women’s laser radial. The mixed nacra 17 (multihull) and men’s and women’s 470 also competed today and will continue into Thursday’s races.  Conditions on the Pao de Acucar and Escola Naval were incredibly rough, with winds coming off the Pao de Acucar mountains to create shifting conditions that proved to be challenging for the athletes. Several races had to be postponed as a result of the conditions.
