London 2012 Olympic Test Event

Weymouth/Portland, GBR (August 3, 2011) – Russia’s Ekaterina Skudina maintained her 100% winning record in the Women’s Match Racing competition after another light wind day at the Weymouth and Portland International Regatta, the London 2012 Olympic Test Event.

Skudina won gold at Kieler-Woche and narrowly missed out on a top three spot in the ISAF Sailing World Cup series by virtue of podium places with Sally Barkow pipping her to third spot. But the Russian has been in fantastic form since she got to Weymouth and is the only match racer to head into the last day of the Round Robin with an undefeated record.

In third is Sally Barkow (USA) who went 3-1 today, losing to the Finish team who they now sit behind with a 5-2 record. The Women’s Match Racing Round Robins conclude Thursday as the eight Quarter Finalists are decided.

The Men’s and Women’s RS:X sailors start their fleet racing on Thursday, while the Men’s and Women’s 470, Laser and Laser Radial events begin on Friday, August 5, and the Finn, Star and 49er classes get underway on Saturday, August 6. The medal races will run August 11-13.
