Racing was scheduled to start on Saturday, April 20 at 10:00 local time but light winds delayed the racing was delayed by an hour. When the first Medal Race finally kicked off, 5-6 knots of western breeze played out across the 49erFX racing area before it picked up to 6-7 knots.
U.S. athletes Steph Roble and Maggie Shea put themselves in contention for a medal by keeping close behind the Dutch team throughout the event. The pair was able to finish the medal race in second, earning them the bronze medal.
The Nacra 17 fleet was the last to complete their Medal Race as the breeze picked up slightly enabling the boats to get up on the foils. After a taking a penalty, Ravi Parent and Caroline Atwood finished the medal race in seventh, placing them in ninth overall.
The remaining fleets completed their opening series. 470 Men’s athletes, Stu McNay and Dave Huges climbed back into the top ten just in time to appear in tomorrow’s medal race at 10:57 local time (4:57 a.m. EDT). The race will be live on World Sailing’s YouTube Channel here.

Athletes Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea will go into the 49erFX medal race in fifth place. The points are tight across the board and as many as seven teams have a realistic chance of claiming a podium spot in Saturday’s Medal Race.
Four blue and four yellow fleet races brought racing to a close for most of the Nacra 17 fleet. Nacra 17 sailors Ravi Parent and Caroline Atwood will be appearing in the medal race tomorrow at 11:35 a.m. local time (5:35 a.m. EDT) and are in eights place.

Genoa was finally alive and kicking on Thursday for the fourth day of competition after fleeting winds the days prior dented progress in the racing schedule.
A 5-7 knot western breeze ensured that every fleet, minus the Laser Radial, managed to complete at least one race as the regatta organizers work hard to catch up on races lost the days prior.
After two days of waiting for wind, the Men’s and Women’s 470 fleets each completed one race. Several of U.S. 470 athletes finished their race in the top ten. In the Men’s fleet, Stu Mcnay and Dave Hughes are in eighth. Meanwhile, in the Women’s fleet, Atlantic and Nora Burgman are in ninth and Nikole Barnes and Lara Dallman-Weiss are just outside the top ten, in eleventh.
Two blue and one yellow fleet race was completed in the Nacra 17 to establish an overall scoreboard with three results in each fleet. U.S. sailors, Ravi Parent and Caroline Atwood, are in eighth place.
Plenty of racing remains in the 49erFX fleet with four races scheduled in their final series for Friday ahead of Saturday’s Medal Race which will be broadcast live on World Sailing’s YouTube Channel. American athletes, Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea, will be going into their final series tomorrow sitting just outside the top five.
The 49ers also completed their qualification series. The yellow fleet sailed four races and the blue completed three.

Laser Radial racing commenced on the third day of competition at Hempel World Cup Series Genoa. The 67-boat fleet is split into blue and yellow for the qualification series.
Only the Laser Radial blue and yellow and the 49er blue fleets managed to complete a race on Wednesday as a consistent breeze failed to develop. A 3-4 knot southeasterly breeze was just enough for the Laser Radial and 49er classes to sail.
Just one 49er race was completed in the blue fleet. This was the third of the series and does not yet count on the overall leaderboard as the yellow were unable to complete a race on the water. Once their third race is completed, the scores will be combined.
The 470 and Finn classes will have to wait another day to get their competition underway. Meanwhile, the Nacra 17 remain on three qualification races, the 49erFX on five and the Laser on two.
Racing is scheduled to continue at 11:00 local time on Thursday 17 April with additional races planned for all fleets in a bid to catch up on those lost.

The pair is tied for third place and will be donning the red pinnies before heading out on the water.
