Full coverage full Weymouth & Portland as China's Lijia Xu wins gold in the women's laser radial sailing event as the Netherlands' Marit Bouwmeester wins silver and Belgium's Evi Van Acker wins bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Sailing was first contested as an Olympic sport at the 1900 Paris Games. Since then, the classes of boats allowed to compete have continually evolved to reflect advances in yacht design and technology. Equipment advances over the past 20 years have created a trend towards smaller and lighter craft, placing ever greater demands on both the athletic and technical capacities of the sailors.

The commentary on this is sometimes completely misses the point in my opinion. Too much focus on bodyweight and misses aspects like CHN and BEL tacking back after the shift to reduce their risk and also CHN managing to fight to skilfully gain the leeward position and luff up NED and GBR. I understand it's a very difficult job but there's no need to be talking the whole time if there's nothing to say.

Xu rocks, she seems to be in accord with the forces, sailing gently, efficiently. The rest have methods... Xu so elegant and composed. Medal well deserved.

Amazing work by Xu Lijia! How can she be so fast downwind? Also, did you notice that her sail is slightly luffing always on the upwind legs?
@guyrivington2247 4 жыл бұрын
She was pointing high to reduce the power as she was a lighter sailor. Sailed slower but gained more height and therefore good for her vmg.
@north-jd4mw 6 күн бұрын
@@guyrivington2247this style of sailing fits her but generally pointing 2degrees lower would make such a massive difference
@Jacksonemccoy 10 жыл бұрын
I think there is a significant amount of current coming from upwind from looking at the video. that would mean she kept going left upwind and went right downwind to stay in the favored current

These announcers are the worst. They keep saying 'Chinese girl', 'Irish girl', etc. You could try to remember their names and if not, just call them by their countries or call them sailors. They're clearly not girls. This is from 2012, not 1955.

40:40 look that Chinese girl knew that there has been a wind shift therefore she didn't do a perfect downwind instead did a "reach" while other idiots were simply doing downwind and got so behind.

She was past the bottom mark at that point after which there is a short reach leg to the finish.
