In this class compete Facundo Olezza. The sailor from San Isidro is sixth and will need a very good production in the race that scores double and cannot be ruled out. The situation is complex, but not impossible …

With the dismissal of his regatta No. 7, in which he added 16 points (20 is the highest score; it is worth remembering that the one with the fewest many wins, unlike many other sports), Olezza records a net of 52, the same amount as the Dutchman Nicholas Heiner, who would be winning the probable tiebreaker.

Higher up are the British Giles Scott (28), the Hungarian Zsombor Berecz (37), the Spanish Joan Cardona Méndez (39) and the New Zealander Josh Junior (47). Here is the time to do the math … It quickly becomes clear that Olezza can’t win gold., since the difference with Scott is 26, when the maximum that can be added in the medal race is 20.

If he wins the race for the medals, Olezza will finish with 54 units (the winner always adds one, but with a double score this time there are two) and that would allow him to be silver. All those above would have to have a day to forget. If he does not finish in the top 3, Facundo will return to the country without metal.
