No wind in Rio sees 470 Medal Races bumped until tomorrow

After the chaos of Tuesday, when fifteen races were sailed across seven events including three medal races, Wednesday’s schedule looked light – just two medal races for the Women’s and Men’s 470.

However the wind didn’t show up and both Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie, and Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Willcox will come back and try again tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s revised schedule is…

1305 Women’s 470 Medal Race
1350 Men’s 470 Medal Race
1435 49er Medal Race
1520 49erFX Medal Race
