Marit Bouwmeester wins fourth Laser Radial World Championship as winds die in Melbourne

It may have been a case of â€œsaved by the windâ€ for Rio Olympic champion, Marit Bouwmeester. The three-time world champion led by 24 points over night but saw her margin trimmed to just two points after the first race of the final day. A big wind shift caught a number of the top sailors out, and Bouwmeester, who received a yellow flag (penalty turns), finished 29th. This became her second â€œdropâ€ but brought into play a 24th from yesterday.
