Anyone watching or understand how skiff-49er works? Our women's pair was at one stage in 4-5 position very closed to the leaders in first leg but not appearing in the animation then suddenly disappeared from the pact after the turn...also, can suka suka choose to turn left or right one ah? 😅

Sailing has no specific path to sail unlike cycling, marathon, car rally, etc. They need to go around the buoy in sequence. When you sail upwind (sail into where the wind is blowing from), you have to do zig zag manner. How and when they decide to zig zag is a very tactical strategy to make when competing. That's why you see them coming from different directions while approaching the buoy marker. It also depends on the wind and other dinghy around you as you want to catch the best wind and not "leftover wind" by other competitors. Yes sailing is relaxing, but the competition is highly technical. That's why they have many races (12 total) to accumulate the points (or rather the less points the better).

Won’t be easy for JS but wish him all the best and do Singapore proud.

 

That year Schooling won the first Olympic gold medal for Singapore in the 100m butterfly with a time of 50.39 seconds, defeating legendary Olympian Michael Phelps.

This time, Schooling will have a face-off with 24-year-old Caeleb Dressel from the United States and 20-year-old Kristof Milak from Hungary.

In 2019's World Swimming Championship, Dressel broke the world record that was previously held by Phelps with a record of 49.5 seconds.

Milak is the current holder of the world record in 200m butterfly.

The women's TT dominated by PRC nationals. Its like PRC vs PRC. Looks like these ang mo countries did not developed their own TT sportswomen.
