Marseille, France: In what sailors called the first "normal wind" day of the 2024 Olympics, Spain and the Netherlands won gold medals in the men's and women's skiffs respectively on Friday, while the United States snagged its first Olympic sailing medal since Rio eight years ago.
Fickle winds forced medal races for the skiffs known as 49er and 49erFX - powerful, bird-like two-person boats - to be abandoned or rescheduled Thursday in Marseille.
On Friday, the women's race started on time just after noon and gave a wild finish to the Dutch team of Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz, who had entered it with the second-best score.
They thought they had cruised past the finish line but hadn’t realized the race committee had changed the course, and the line was on the other side of the committee boat.
They quickly corrected course and crossed the right line, but lost time doing so.
