Les tenía tanta fe que me decidí a escribir esto antes de que se corra la regata. Lucas y Juan le dan a nuestro país una medalla de bronce, demostrando que el dinero que se invierte en nuestro deporte esta más que merecido y aún deberían tener mas.
Felicitaciones a los chicos y todo su equipo por el esfuerzo de estos ultimos años, y ojala que esto sólo sea el comienzo de más medallas en Río 2016. ¡Vamos Argentina!
Australia gana el oro y GBR plata

Men’s 470 Medal Race Will Have To Wait As Light Breeze Forces Cancellation

With little to no breeze forecast, Mother Nature played her part in a frustrating day for sailors and spectators alike.
Lucas Calabrese y Juan de la Fuente pelearán mañana por la medalla de bronce en la Medal race de la clase 470. Todos nerviosos y haciendo fuerza por los chicos. Ojala se les dé. La regata comienza a las 09.00hs de Argentina y se puede ver en directo por T&C Sports con transmisión a partir de las 08.30hs, con la cobertura desde el agua de Norbi García.

Kiwis And Brits Assured Of Medals
All eyes were on Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie (NZL) and Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR) today as the Kiwis and Brits assured themselves of an Olympic medal as the Women’s 470 fleet racing came to an end.
The Kiwis would have been happy with the second place they collected from Race 9, but a disappointing discarded 18th place in Race 10 removed the chance of them going into the Medal Race with a lead.

Danes Take Final 49er Podium Spot
Denmark’s Allan Norregaard and Peter Lang held onto third place in the 49er by finished third in the Medal Race to take the bronze medal.
Austria’s Nico Delle-Karth and Nikolaus Resch led the Medal Race from start to finish and it looked like they would take bronze at one point. However on the second to last run the Danes took the left side of the course whilst everyone went right and it paid off as they climbed from seventh to third and back into the final podium spot.

Belcher and Page have won five of ten races after a shaky start on the opening day.

Another Dutch Day Of Dominance
Dorian Van Rijsselberge (NED) has moved 15 points clear in the Men’s RS:X after another day of dominance.
No one has been able to cope with the Dutchman after he won his fifth race out of eight as well as recording another second place. Van Rijsselberge holds a discarded third place and if anyone is to overthrow him it’ll be down to the Dutchman’s own misfortunes as he looks faultless on the race course at the moment.
