Sail-World's NZ Editor, Richard Gladwell, was on the water at the Medal Race for the RS:X class won before the race by Dorian van Rijsselberghe (NED) without needing points from the Medal Race. Nick Dempsey (GBR) was second on a similar basis.

Sorry. Sail-World decided to cover the final race of the Finns and had to leave the Stadium Race course - so no images of the Womens RS:X.
