A light breeze took over the race track for the 470 Men Medal Race. Italy's Sivitz Kosuta-Farneti had led the series from start to finish and easily took the gold, despite a sixth place finish in the Medal race. Silver went to Italian brothers Savoini, and Germany's Winkel/Cipra took bronze after their second place in the Medal Race. Impressive form from Kore's Changju/Jihoon who won the medal race to finish the event in fourth overall.
