    Mid day Adelaide time. There will be a separate Race 11 among the quota contenders which is not the medal race . Medal race will be among the top 10 sailors to decide rankings.

    let me give you a detailed answer 
     
    people who know nothing about this sport usually can't understand the difference between GR and FS. I even remember some "wise" people even in totallympics suggested having 3 GR weights and 3 FS weights, like a wrestler can easily switch between styles. 50 years ago? maybe but nowadays you can't find a single wrestler in high level who tries both styles (yeah Taishi Narikuni tried Greco after winning the world title in FS but failed miserably) 
    kids switch styles when they are younger to find what they can do better. but when they settle into one of those two styles that never changes. 
     
    those genius guys in UWW (previously FILA) tried to find a way to show the world these styles are different. as far as I know they came up with two solutions. (there were other solutions like having different mat colors but that was costly)
     
    1) let the Greco guys wrestle naked ! obviously I mean just the upper body  I remember I heard one of their officials saying that's more "attractive" 
    2) having different weight classes
     
    they eventually went for #2. this way they just want to show the world these styles are different. and yes I know this is extremely stupid but UWW/FILA officials were never smart
