Olympics, Tita and Banti defeat the wind and give sailing gold in the Nacra 17
Despite the light air at the start, at the minimum limit to be able to carry out the test, the Italians Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti won the medal race scheduled for Wednesday 7 August 2024 and postponed at these hours. At the start of the race, Argentina, second in the ranking, forced to repeat the start and Great Britain disqualified for a false start, the only ones who can give the Italians a minimum headache remain the New Zealanders.
But it is gold from the first mark, the windward one, passed in second position behind the French boat in the lead from the start. A seventh place would have been enough but Tita and Banti, even with a cautious tactic, have full control of their pace and arrive second with just a minute of difference.
