Rio 2016 Olympics, Nacra 17 Medal Race Day, Lange & Carranza Champs

by · Published · Updated

Update: Sorry for the delay on the final data, but I just couldn´t believe what happened in Rio…. Forget about twits while racing, that medal race was too much to bare for us , remember about being Argie and suffering? Try to watch the race again, someone will make a movie on Santi Legend Lange’s life and this Gold Medal along a focused & tough sailor like Ceci who was key today for their gold.

Full report & regatta sump up next along pics.

Great racing by all specially the top 3 in this MR, Gemma & Jason, Jason & Lisa and Thomas & Tanja, full respect for Billy & Marie as posted in Twitter earlier and sorry for our friends Vitto & Silvia. Only words right now for the French & the Italians is: Just look at Santi history, still much left for you guys.
