Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Colin Harrison, #russellboaden and #jonathanharris have won gold, pending any protests, in the Three Person Keelboat (Sonar) at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Sailing #competition with a race to spare.

Sailing at a consistently high level all week, Harrison, Boaden and Harris take a 24-point advantage in to the final race of the #competition which puts them out of reach of their nearest rivals, USA, in second.

The win confirms a second medal for Australia at the #rio2016paralympicgames and takes their medal tally to two guaranteed golds following Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch's win the Two Person Keelboat (SKUD18) earlier in the day.

The gold will be a second medal for both Harrison and Boaden as they claimed bronze in Beijing 2008, sailing with Graeme Martin. It is Harris' first Paralympic medal.

The fight for silver and bronze will continue to the final day with USA and Canada in pole position for the remaining medals.
