- Stuart Bithell and Dylan Fletcher snatch last-gasp 49er win
- Giles Scott wins Finn gold, silver for Gimson and Burnet
Giles Scott defended his Olympic title in the men’s Finn class with a fourth-place finish in the medal race as Britain won two dramatic sailing golds in quick succession on Tuesday and followed that up with a silver.
Scott’s heroics came shortly after Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell had kickstarted the medal rush with a close-fought win in the men’s 49er FX. John Gimson ended a 20-year wait for an Olympic medal when he and Anna Burnet added a silver medal in the Nacra 17 to the day’s tally with a fifth-place finish in their medal race.
