Due to low winds, all the races scheduled for today’s kitesurfing events at the 2024 Paris Olympics have been canceled — and decisions for the medal series are made based on the races already completed.
In the women’s Forumula Kite race, Israeli Gal Zukerman is ranked 10th overall following just six races, and just squeaks into tomorrow’s semifinal race, where she’ll battle for a longshot spot in the final.
In the men’s event, Dor Zarka finishes 13th overall following seven races, and ends his Olympic run. Up to 16 races in each event were supposed to have been held, but most were delayed and then canceled.
In addition, the weather conditions mean that the medal race in the mixed dinghy sailing event — featuring Israeli duo Nitai Hasson and Noa Lasry — has been abandoned and tentatively rescheduled for tomorrow.
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
