All the action from day 11 of the Paris Olympics 2024.
• Kiwis in action: Full Paris Olympics schedule
Here’s all you need to know about today’s action at the Paris Olympics across Tuesday evening and into tomorrow morning.
Just the one medal chance on day 11
A slim chance for the medal for sailor Tom Saunders in the dinghy (ILCA 7) medal race. They couldn’t get off the start line at all due to the light conditions overnight, denying Saunders the opportunity to strengthen his medal claim. He will start tomorrow’s medal race in seventh after his final two qualifying races were cancelled and is 18 points outside the medal places. Put him down for little more than a mathematical chance to win bronze.
Other Kiwis in action on day 11 Olympics 2024
Sailing
The Kiwi mixed multihull (Nacra 17) pair of Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson are third overall, tied on 28 points with Argentine duo Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco, with two qualifying races to go tonight before the medal race on day 12. Wilkinson and Dawson are in the bronze-medal position. They trail the impressive Italian duo of Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti by 14 points but, importantly, are 10 points ahead of fourth-placed John Gimson and Anna Burnet of Great Britain. Justina Kitchen is 15th overall in the women’s kite, while Lukas Walton-Keim occupies the same spot in the men’s event.
