Olympic kitesurfing
Valentin Bontus also in the top field on day two
Valentin Bontus also opened the second day of competition with a top result. With little wind, the Lower Austrian raced to fourth place in the first race - even though the conditions usually play into the hands of lighter riders.
Once again, Bontus got off to a top start, but had to change his course in between, ultimately crossing the finish line in fourth place. The other sessions had to be canceled due to a lack of wind (see video above), the next races are scheduled for Tuesday.
After his first, second, fifth and eighth place from the previous day, the 23-year-old is currently in third place overall. The two best-placed athletes in the opening series go straight through to the final, while those in third to tenth place move on to the semi-finals.
Medal hopes
With his World Championship bronze medal from Hyres in his luggage, the 23-year-old is one of the favorites for Olympic gold.
