After another day plagued by delays and weather problems, Israeli windsurfers Sharon Kantor and Tom Reuveny both secure places in tomorrow’s semifinals, giving them each a solid shot at the podium.
Kantor finishes in second overall after 14 races in the women’s iQFoil, while Reuveny is also ranked in the 2nd spot after 13 races in the men’s event. Reuveny trails the UK’s Emma Wilson, who goes straight to the final, while Reuveny is behind only Australia’s Grae Morris.
In the semifinal, Kantor and Reuveny will each battle with three other qualifiers for the two remaining spots in the final. Qualifying for the final guarantees the athletes a medal.
Both events were supposed to have 20 overall races before tomorrow’s medal races, but low winds and weather issues canceled several races and delayed others.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
