In the 42 boat 470 Women’s fleet, the top two teams have established a significant points margin over the chasing pack. Day by day the leaderboard is shuffling, as they trade places. A 2,6 scorecard for Italy’s Di Salle and Dubbini holds them in first overall, with Greece’s Bozi and Klonaridou seizing two 4^th place finishes to end the day in 2^nd overall. Behind the leading two, points are close for the next three teams, an 8^th and 24^th for Great Britain’s Lavery and Brickwood keeps them in reach of the podium spots, in 4th overall.

An unbroken run of four wins in a row, came to an end today for 470 Men leaders, Pirouelle and Sipan of France. A 17^th place in race 9 broke their control of the race track, but the partnership still holds what may well turn out to be an unassailable lead over Germany’s Winkel and Cipra, with Spain’s twin brothers David and Alex Vila in third.
 
Early series leaders, Hungary’s Gyapjas finished 2^nd in the first race of the day, putting them back in the points game, after yesterday’s lukewarm  performance.

Today’s light breeze favoured lighter teams. Tomorrow is crunch day to decide the top ten teams advancing to Saturday’s Medal Race. So the pressure is on to protect and attack, if teams want to guarantee themselves a place in the medal race line up.
