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.
