Despite another frustrating day with intermittent low winds, Israeli windsurfers Sharon Kantor and Tom Reuveny remain in solid positions going into the last day of races tomorrow before Friday’s medal event.
In the women’s iQFoil event, Kantor is ranked second overall after the completion of 11 races. Earlier, Kantor was way ahead in the marathon race — worth double the points of the shorter slalom or course races — but with sailors struggling with low winds in certain areas, nobody had crossed the finish line after 60 minutes and the race was canceled, its interim results discarded.
In the men’s event, Reuveny wraps up his 10th race, maintaining his 3rd place ranking behind Australia’s Grae Morris and Poland’s Pawel Tarnowski.
Another five races are expected tomorrow in each event before Friday’s medal races. The top-ranked sailor advances straight to the final race, guaranteeing them a medal. Boats ranked 2nd and 3rd go straight to the semifinal and boats ranked 4th-10th advance to the quarterfinal, while all others are knocked out of contention.
