Olympic Results site

[tat27]

I got frustrated with trying to use the RYA or "official" Olympics site to find out what was going on - ie I could easily see that Giles Scott had two 9ths in the Finn, but not who was doing well, who not.
So after some searching I found the following link via Sailweb:
World Sailing | Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games - Results Centre

Thanks for that. I was looking for results too.

I thought the Finn had been dropped! I have zero interest in sport of any kind at any level, and I had thought a particular reason not to be interested in this Olympics, was the removal of the Finn from the line-up.

Now, I may even tune in to take a look, if it's being broadcast.

Here's a wonderful day one result visual for you.....?

Wow! The Finn has really evolved!

Looks like we have a silver with Emma in the women's RSX

By my maths a medal is guaranteed, but it could be any colour after the medal race.

Unbelievable set of results overall from the GB sailors though. Only 3 classes that we're not in the medals at this point.

Saskia from Dublin performing well for GB in the 49er ??

Excuse my ignorance of the Olympic racing but how does the final Medal Race work in with the other results?

Top 10 qualify.
Double points.
Not discardable.

So in other words you need a 20 point gap to sit it out. A 19 point gap just means you have to finish without being DSQ. Which is what the lead male RS-X has...

@flaming , thanks. All clear now.

Awesome job by team GB sailors - gold in 49er and Finn, Silver in the Nacra 17. Looking good for gold for our girls in the 470 tomorrow. Great job everyone ?.

Agree. Brilliant job Dylan, Stuart, Giles, Anna & John this morning. And bad luck to Charlotte and Saskia, who came so close but didnt quite have the medal race they hoped for.
