Postma.
Goud of zilver lijkt nu iets te hoog gegrepen, maar hopelijk kan hij de Deen achter zich houden in de strijd om het brons.

Postma in 3rd overall
For the first time since the start of the Finn Gold Cup, the lead has changed hands.
After an intense race Ben Ainslie passed Dan Slater on the line to get ahead by one point before tomorrow’s medal race. With Pieter Jan Postma climbing to 3rd and Jonas Hoegh-Christensen in 4th position after a 9th in today’s race, the top 4 contenders are within 10 points going into tomorrow’s Medal race. It will be a four man battle for the title.
[...] 31st at the top mark, Pieter-Jan Postma made a huge recovery passing 25 boats to finish 6th in the race.
“It doesn’t really matters who from Ben or I passed the other today” explained Dan Slater after racing, “tomorrow’s medal race counting double is minimising the one point gap between us.” This will not be the first time that the two sailors will be competing for the same title. “This is bringing some old memories of times when Ben and I where racing against each other in the Laser.” The New Zealander acknowledges that tomorrow’s will be a 4 men battle.
Pieter-Jan Postma (NED) is looking forward tomorrow’s final race: “I will prepare myself for an optimum race. I am not going out there just to beat the other guys. I will only focus on my sailing and I want to push my own abilities.”
The battle for the Olympic berths will see the last opportunities during the last race tomorrow.
[...]
The medal race is scheduled to start directly after the final race for competitors placed higher than 11th.
