After her first seven races, Israeli windsurfer Sharon Kantor is ranked in second place overall in the women’s iQFoil event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, behind only the UK’s Emma Wilson as the day’s events come to a close.
Kantor, a strong medal contender for the Israeli delegation, won gold earlier this year at the iQFoil World Championships.
In the men’s event, windsurfer Tom Reuveny is ranked in third place overall after six races, behind competitors from Poland and the Netherlands.
Windsurfing got a slow start at the Olympics after all the races in Marseilles were canceled on Sunday due to low winds, and only two races for the women and one for the men were held yesterday before the rest were also canceled. The sailors were slated to compete in 20 races overall before Friday’s medal races, but are now likely to have only 16 or 17.
