LDOG 2,199 Posted August 1, 2021 #111 Share Posted August 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, Vektor said: It's unbelievable how many times Berecz fucks up the start of the race... Almost every time. He's really lucky that the the field in Finn is small and there still seem to be a big skill difference between the top sailors and the rest because the top sailors are almost never in danger of finishing outside of the Top10. Which means that no matter how much Berecz fucks up the start, he almost always saves it, just like in Race 9 where we was 13th at the first mark and then he climbed up to the 4th place by the end. Anyway, Berecz is still 3rd, if he can finish in the Top5 in the last two races, he won't lose the medal. Giles Scott is already the winner of this event, maybe Berecz would have had a chance against him if his starts wouldn't be dreadful for some reason. Yeah I'm pissed at how our guy can't ever get back any ground because the medal positions never finish worse than 6th lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted August 1, 2021 #116 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I almost never watch sailing so correct me if I am wrong about this: Berecz is 10 points ahead of the Dutch who's in the 4th place and Berecz's worst placement is a 9th. If he can keep this 10 points distance between him and the sailors behind him during Race 10 AND his discarded score remains the 9, he can't finish worst than 3rd in the overall ranking, right?

No. Medal race must count and the points are doubled. A gap of 18 points or less can be made up in a medal race. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of bullshit that one race matters more than the others, but oh well, it's still better than one race deciding everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
