Live stream information and how to watch Olympics sailing online and on television on Monday, August 15th.
Olympics sailing events are coming to a close in Rio over the next four days, signaling an end to the final preliminary events and transitioning into medal events. So far, there have been two sailing medal events: men’s and women’s RS: X windsurfers on Sunday.
In both competitions, Team Netherlands had a very good day. 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.
Olympics sailing continues on Tuesday, August 16th, with more preliminaries in the men’s and women’s 49er skiff, 470 dinghy, and the medal race in men’s finn dinghies and the mixed nacra 17 multihulls.
