žbogar leads after first day

Well done, Vasko, this is really our Super Tuesday. I was watching first race on HRT, he was really focused and is once more well prepared. As Croatian commentator said (she and her co- worker were really good), Vasilij is born for Olympics. He always knows how to prepare very well every four years.

a better begining of the argentinian sailing than i think previusly.....

Quite remarkable start from our team. Vasko is still well placed on second position, Tina and Veronika also starting with 2nd place after day 1 in class 470.

If only they would end competition now.

Van Rijsselberghe almost 100% sure of gold, unless the jury makes another decision later tonight as they have done earlier. His lead in the RS:X category is big enough that the medal race is irrelevant when it comes to the Olympic title. Dorian would be the first sailer in his category ever to successfully defend an Olympic title.

 

Dorian van Rijsselberghe was our flag bearer in London.

The danish 49er making a stupid mistake going the wrong way in the first race while in 1st place. They got down to 8th place because of that!

Denmark vs Netherlands for gold in the Laser Radial 

[dcro 10,210]

We have secured our first Olympic medal in sailing. WOW, I never thought this day will come!

 

Stipanović leads going into medal race in men's Laser. 10 pts ahead of AUS, 20 pts ahead of NZL and 29 pts ahead of FRA. So he has actually secured silver and has a good chance for gold!

You two can fight it out at the back of the field and then Annalise sweeps away in 1st position and the gold medal

 

The fight for gold was even hotter in 2012.... IRL, NED, BEL and CHN all had equal points (effectively) going into the medal race. Of course we know who finished 4th
