4-11 May 2012
One more day with extremely light winds in Hyeres and the Zhik Star Worlds. It was a day of ups and downs with Scheidt and Prada scoring a 5th while Percy and Simpson came 17th. This 5 points gap does not guarantee the gold to the British duo; they will have to be very careful tomorrow!
At the same time, the Kiwis gave it all and scored a bullet securing their ticket to London. Same for the Dutch who are now 5th and will see themselves in the Olympics!
But, as for the other 2 tickets, it is still pending who is going to make it.
Today’s results give the last 2 tickets to Croatia and Spain with Greece on equal points with the Spanish duo. At the same time, the duo from Austria is still too close.
So, tomorrow it is going to be really tough! Stay tuned to see the full action!
