The new race format for the olympic classes at the Kiel Week makes the result lists more dynamic. After the first two racing days, the sailors have only taken their position as a point score into the first elimination round. So the first race of the best teams almost starts from scratch until the decision in the evening, which six teams per class will reach the finals in the eight olympic disciplines.

After the first half of the races, in the so-called Gold Fleets, German teams are likely to make it into the top three in seven classes. The 49er sailors Erik Heil/Thomas Ploessel (Kiel) and their class colleagues Victoria Jurczok/Anika Lorenz (Kiel) are even leading the fleet at the end of the elimination round.
