Five #hempelworldcupseries #Enoshima champions were crowned on Saturday 31 August as the first day of Medal Races sprung some surprises.

 

France's Quentin Delapierre and Manon Audinet claimed a superb Nacra 17 gold, moving up from fifth to first following a Medal Race win.

 

49er gold looked as if it was heading to Germany's Tim Fischer and Fabian Graf but a capsize on the final downwind saw it slip away as James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (GBR) finished second to climb from fifth to first.

 

Louis Giard (FRA) put a dominant performance together in the Men's RS:X, moving from third to first.

 

There were no big surprises in the 49erFX and Women's RS:X meanwhile. Annemiek Bekkering and Annette Duetz (NED) and Yunxiu Lu (CHN) had good advantages going into the Medal Race and confirmed their gold medals.
