\"2014-EC-logoforNOR\"<\/a>Johan Molund och Sebastian \u00d6stling gick b\u00e4st av de tv\u00e5 svenskb\u00e5tarna n\u00e4r Guldfinalen inleddes p\u00e5 onsdagen i danska \u00c5rhus. En tredje plats i f\u00f6rsta seglingen f\u00f6ljdes dock upp med en 29:e plats i de sv\u00e5rseglade vindarna. Molund\/\u00d6stling ligger\u00a0tolva (8:a i EM)\u00a0och tre po\u00e4ng fr\u00e5n en topp tio och 10 po\u00e4ng fr\u00e5n en medaljplacering i EM. Anton Dahlberg och Fredrik Bergstr\u00f6m placerade sig p\u00e5 18 och 21 i de inledande finalseglingarna och ligger tolva i EM och 19 i t\u00e4vlingen. Gerz\/Szymanski, Tyskland, gick f\u00f6rbi Mcanzy\/Hughes, USA, i sammandraget. Pavel Sozykin Denis Gribanov, Ryssland, ligger trea. Luke Patience Elliot Willis, Storbritannien, har just nu EM-bronsmedaljplats som femma i t\u00e4vlingen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Eng) Another unpredictable and challenging race track with the breeze nudging 7 knots at best, in conditions that benefited the light wind specialists.\u00a0 Two races were completed for all fleets. The heat is on here in Aarhus, Denmark \u2013 as teams are pushed to raise their game and an intense sun beats down on the race track.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ferdinand Gerz\/Oliver Szymanski (GER) are firmly in the lead as the only 470 men team to count an all top ten scoreline. A win in the opening race of gold fleet racing pushed them up to second overall, and their 5th place in the next race secured their position at the front. The pair also have a card to play, as their discard race is an 11th, whereas every other team in the top 10 is already discarding a double-digit score and counting a double-digit score. So whilst the Germans will not be looking to make any mistakes, they know they hold a useful safety net.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are super happy,\u201d<\/em> said Gerz. \u201cIt was very, very difficult today as the wind was really light. But we finally managed somehow to read the pressure on the water quite good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In the fickle breeze, strategy was all important. \u201cWe had two good strategic decisions in the first race on the upwind. In the first race we were going to the left after a bad start, like really far left, which brought us first to the top mark already. And then we were able to keep this advantage until the finish, and we had a good lead. In the second race we were a bit in a pack close to the pin end boat. Then after the start we were forced to tack to the right and we soon saw that pressure on the right started to increase, and on the left decrease. So we changed plan and stuck right.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still a long way to go, with 4 final races and a medal race,\u201d<\/em> acknowledged Gerz. \u201cUntil now our scoreline is incredibly good, but we will try to focus on each race and do our best every moment.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extremely exciting racing here with the tricky breeze. The game is never over and even if you are back in the pack at the beginning of the race, you still know that there\u2019s everything to gain. On the other hand it makes life for the leading boats quite difficult, especially on the downwind, as sometimes you have to wait for the pressure, which the boats behind you already have. But it\u2019s good. We have been training here the past week before the Europeans to try to figure out something and so far it has worked quite well.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Stuart McNay\/David Hughes (USA) drop to 2nd overall, with Pavel Sozykin\/Denis Gribanov (RUS) in 3rd. Defending 470 European Champions Luke Patience\/Elliot Willis (GBR) climb up to 5th overall, edging closer to the front of the fleet.<\/p>\n

Mat Belcher\/Will Ryan\u2019s domination of the 470 fleet has been all consuming, and understandably some expect them to consistently be at the front of the fleet in each race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it just shows the company we are in and the conditions we have here,\u201d<\/em> said Belcher in reference to their 24th place finish today. \u201cIt makes it a level field, as it is flat water, extremely shifty and today\u2019s races had significant shifts on the first beat which ultimately determines the entire race. You can see some big names, guys like the Croatians, Greek, British, Kiwis and us back in the fleet. It just shows you that it is really tough conditions and quite variable and everyone is just struggling a little bit, but that\u2019s part of racing, it is the same for everyone.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s definitely not my day to go to the casino!\u201d<\/em> laughed Ryan. \u201cIt was pretty tricky out there. The last two days have been really physical from a crew\u2019s perspective, just on the limit of the open pumping rule. But today it was a bit more of a finesse game. It\u2019s hard to pick and once the cards get dealt, it is hard to respond to it. You just have to deal with it as best you can and claw back as best you can. It is tricky racing and we have four races to go still, so plenty of opportunities that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Australians’ 24th result is discarded, and they advance into the leaderboard top 10, along with Antonio Rosa\/Joao Rosa (POR) and Sofian Bouvet\/Jeremie Mion (FRA), whose overall positions also improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
