Finns at the half way stage in Tokyo 2020

After six races the Finn fleet is having a day off at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Sailing Competition.

Racing resumes Saturday with early forecasts showing some light winds for the next few days, which could introduce some new elements to the competition.

Here we look at the top 10 at the half way stage. Some are performing well, a few are struggling, while others are ready to pounce.
