I rarely follow sailing outside of Olympics, can you explain to me what the hell a "ghost win" is  @phelps

basically, you're awarded 1 won race because of the placement in the previous races

 

the sailors in this case must win 3 races to win the round and those who placed better in the qualification stage are awarded 2 or 1 win without even racing before the actual round starts (therefore "ghost wins")

 

so, in both semifinals heats, the best ranked in the qualification round started with 2 wins, the 2nd best with 1 win and the others from 0, meaning that the best ranked in the previous round have an advantage over their opponents

 

same criteria is also used in the final round

Huge turn around in race 10. Wearn started 20 pts behind and finished 20 pts ahead. You don't very often see that degree of change among the medal contenders so late in the contest.

Thought  Douglas would secure a quota, just thought she would do it a little easier... and certainly not with an extremely disappointing 24th

Today we need an exorcist...

One of the worst days for Italian sport since a long time...

Kite is fun! Adds nice variety to the sailing program.

 

Gold for Maeder.

Beckett was always at risk after he picked up the BFD in race 5 - you can afford to have 1 bad race but not too.

 

On the upside for him, he was the most consistent sailor across the course of the regatta so will be right in the medal hunt next year - assuming he gets the nod over Eliott Hanson - but on the downside, this is the second regatta where he has led (and led well) in the early stages only to lose out to Wearn after the same thing happened at the Paris test event.
