[Adriano 590]

Hahahahahahahahah, great race. Bronze medal for Israel, China or Italy?

Meanwhile there's still a ton of discussion going on about video of the start of the 7th Laser Radial race, which the organization outright refuses to publish (they do of course have it). Bouwmeester got DQ'ed for a false start there, but apparently the actual video footage shows that that's a highly controversial decision.

Although Goyard is still in silver position.

Yep, OCS = 22 points, so he just manages to hold onto silver.

2. Goyard (FRA) 74
3. Bi (CHI) 75
4. Cohen (ISR) 76
5. Camboni (ITA) 76

Bi  does what he needed to do in order to earn bronze.

And with this, we've also reached the end of the RS:X era, which has been fairly succesful for the Dutch men and training buddies and close friends Van Rijsselberghe/Badloe  On to foiling.

And with that…RS:X bows out of the Olympic program. The class delivered great sailing over 4 editions of the Games
