DAY 5 OF THE ALLIANZ SAILING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023
16 Aug 2023The 470 mixed dinghy Olympic class decided the 2023 world champions before tomorrow’s medal race.
“Happy, happy, happy!” was Keiju Okada’s celebration as he stepped ashore with his crew Miho Yoshioka.
The Japanese have dominated the 470 Mixed competition all week, winning the world title by an enormous margin.
With a 38-point advantage over the Spanish in second overall, there’s no one who can get close to taking gold from the Japanese in Thursday’s medal race.
As they so often do, Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman have ground their way back into podium contention. The Spanish hold a three-point advantage over the German husband and wife team, Malte and Anastasiya Winkel who won the final race of the afternoon.
The battle for silver and bronze will be extremely close with just seven points separating five teams.
470 Nations Cup
The title of 470 Nations Trophy is still open between Japan and Germany. Medal Race will determinate the winning nation while Spain secured bronze and mathematically hopes for silver. While the individual World championship title decided, silver, bronze and seven places for the Olympic Games are still on anyone chance! Tomorrow's 470 medal race is going to be epic!
