Australia's Matt Hearn all but wrapped up the gold in the men's Laser class on Friday but Denmark's Anne-Marie Rindom made a costly error in the women's Laser Radial category that dented her hopes of victory in Sunday's medal race.
Hearn has a 22-point lead over Hermann Tomasgaard of Norway, meaning he only needs to start and finish the race while avoiding disqualification from the competition to win gold.
That should have disqualified Rindom from that race but when a general restart was announced the disqualification was annulled and she was entitled to continue. "Obviously I'm super-sad about my performance today, it just feels like I wasn't present and I just did so many stupid things," the 30-year-old Rindom said.At the top of 49er classes for men and women, five points separate the top four men's teams after nine of the 12 opening series races and the women's top four are within a similar span.
