I expected Brazil, Australia and New Zealand to do better, but obviously it can still change. 8 quote places would be great for Germany. Quite telling that Germany (right now) would qualify in all events except men's/women's skiff, obviously that is their weak spot.

The top three almost in home waters - literally so in the case of the Dutch.

a) Men's Dinghy

Seven of the ten events. The others are the men's and women's skiffs (49er & 49erFX) and the mixed multihull (Nacra17).

And finally today's bit of useless information. The first woman to win a gold medal at the OG was in sailing in 1900 in an early example of a "mixed event".

I believe the image is of her in her sailing kit.
