Assured of the gold medal going into today’s Medal Race final, Paige RAILEY (USA) was still keen to get off the line and show her form. But, she was just a bit too keen and it wasn’t until RAILEY was some way up the opening windward leg that she realised her error of being on course side (OCS) at the gun and returned to re-cross the line.Even by RAILEY’s demanding standards, she found herself in a position from which it was impossible to recover and went onto finish the race in last position and with it added 20 points to her scoreline.
Behind RAILEY, the battle was for the silver and bronze medals with Jo ALEH (NZL) and Penny CLARKE (GBR) head to head. Assured of the bronze medal, CLARKE’s goal was to outsail ALEH for the silver, but ALEH had a different plan. ALEH knew she just had to finish within one boat of CLARKE to keep the silver and she delivered her goal faultlessly tailing CLARKE throughout the race, to finish in seventh with CLARKE in sixth.
For both ALEH and CLARKE, their performance at the Qingdao International Regatta must rank as career bests. CLARKE who only started campaigning full time this year, has rapidly demonstrated her talent, most recently claiming the bronze medal at the Europeans in Italy.
Victory in today’s Medal Race went to Anna TUNNICLIFFE (USA). TUNNICLIFFE put in some excellent results and claimed the most bullets in the series, but these were interspersed with double-digit results which held her back from the podium places.
Two of China’s three entries in the Laser Radial fleet qualified to the Medal Race, and today they placed second and third, giving Xiaoying SHEN seventh overall and the recent winner of the Laser Radial Worlds, Lijia XU ninth overall.
