ENOSHIMA, Japan (Reuters) - Denmark's Anne-Marie Rindom was crowned champion in the women's Laser Radial sailing class on Sunday, after her team helped her bounce back from a horrible misunderstanding on Friday that almost saw her give up a golden opportunity for Olympic victory.
The Dane was hit with a 45-point penalty for pulling out of the last of the 10 opening series races on Friday after a disqualification that was quickly annulled https://jp.reuters.com/article/csports-us-olympics-2020-sal-idCAKBN2F00QE-OCASP. That slashed her lead in the overall standings ahead of the medal race and giving the rest of the field hope that she could be caught.
