Olympics | Britain's Wilson continues to dominate women's windsurfing


MARSEILLE, France, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Strong winds whipped up a frenetic day of racing at Marseille Marina on Tuesday, as Emma Wilson of Britain bolstered her dominance in women's windsurfing (iQFoil). The Netherlands' favorites Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz climbed to the top in the women's skiff (49erFX).

While on Monday the British surfer had to deal with light winds, Wilson proved more than capable of adapting to Tuesday's windier conditions as she picked up three valuable wins. Reigning iQFOiL world champion Sharon Kantor also managed the unpredictable conditions well, moving to second overall with two race wins. China's Yan Zheng stood in seventh spot.
