With the windsurfers joining the Olympic party today, Bryony Shaw put in a solid start to her regatta. She ends the day in third with results of 4,3 from her two races, with the Chinese sailor Jian Yin having the perfect opening scorecard of 1,1.
“It’s just good to get off the blocks really,” said Shaw afterwards. “I’m happy that I had conservative start but that I was able to come back through the fleet and take a few places. Hopefully I can improve on that tomorrow.”
