It ends the World Cup of Sailing, which has been playing in Marseille, France, since last Tuesday, with two silver medals for the Spanish team. Silvia Mas and Patricia Cantero, in female category, and Jordi Xammar and Nicolás Rodríguez, in male, have become subchampions of the world cup in class 470. In addition, Bàrbara Cornudella and Sara López, in 470 female, have been seven.

While the Australians Belcher and Ryan secured the gold with the second position in the race medal, the Japanese Okada and Hoyazono have been surprised to win the race, which has been worth the bronze medal. For their part, Xammar and Rodríguez have maintained their position, far away from the head group, knowing that the result was good for them to get the second place of the general.

The race of the 470 female medals could not be disputed because of the difficult weather conditions. In this way, Silvia Mas and Patricia Cantero have stood up with the silver medal, which they had secured thanks to the difference of points obtained yesterday. For their part, Bàrbara Cornudella and Sara López have finished in seventh position of the general, at 9.3 points of the podium. The victory has been for the English Hannah Mills and Eilidh Mcityre while the bronze has been achieved by the Italian Berta and Caruso.

The organization has come to give a valid exit at the end of the 470 female but with just over two minutes sailing they have had to leave the race for a strong role. The second attempt to exit has been cancelled less than 10 seconds from the wind's fall. At the end of the day, the race committee had to take the day for granted at 4.30 p.m.
