Swiss team Flavio Marazzi and Enrico De Maria, leaders in the ISAF world ranking, completed the race in 12th place, totaling 29 points, enough to win the silver medal. Brazilians Torben Grael and Marcelo Ferreira came in third and with 39 points were rewarded with bronze. » Clique para saber mais

British sailors Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson are within striking distance of winning the Star World Championship, currently taking place outside Guanabara Bay. The reigning Olympic champions finished in fourth place in the Rio de Janeiro Regatta and only didn’t win the title today because Swiss sailors Flavio Marazzi and Enrico De Maria managed to finish in 6th place, after rounding the second last mark in ninth position. As a result, the decision has been postponed to the final regatta this Thursday. » Clique para saber mais

Rick Merriman and Phil Trinter (GBR) snatched the lead from Lars Grael and Ronal Seifert (BRA) on the first run of Race 5 of the 2010 Star World Championship in Rio de Janeiro and followed up yesterday’s second place finish with a bullet. “We’re smoking downwind,” said Merriman. The pair watched regatta leaders Iain Percy and Andrew “Bart” Simpson (GBR) jibe of inside them during the initial part of the first run and lose boats. “That was the signal to continue on without jibing,” said Trinter. » Clique para saber mais
