WE ARE LIVE! The action just got real. After an electrifying Day 4, we’ve seen SailGP stars make waves and the leaderboard shaken up across the fleets. ⛵ 49er Men: Spain’s reigning SailGP champs Diego Botín & Florian Trittel surged to the top — echoing a “Max Verstappen-style” takeover with commanding performances. ⚖️ The 49erFX and Nacra 17 fleets also kept the pressure high: Sweden leads FX, while tensions rise in Nacra as the leaderboard tightens. Don’t miss the live racing, battles on every tack, and the push for world titles on Day 5 in Cagliari. 🔥
Giles Scott (GBR) had already wrapped up the Finn gold medal before contesting the Medal Race today, but Vasilij Zbogar (SLO) secured silver, the third Olympic medal of his career, while Caleb Paine (USA) sailed a great race to clinch bronze on the Pão de Açucar (Sugarloaf Mountain) course. All ten competitors had a shot at winning a medal of some colour, so close were the points going into today's finale. The exception was four-time and reigning World Champion Scott whose 24-point buffer made him unassailable for the gold medal. Ivan Gaspic (CRO) started the day in bronze medal position but the American Paine went better in the moderate winds to finish first across the line, which gave the ecstatic American the medal by a comfortable margin.
