Is this the last gasp for the U.S. medal hopes in the 2012 Olympics Regatta?

The only thing, realistically, standing between the U.S. Sailing Team and a shutout at the 2012 London Olympics, is the match racing team of Anna Tunnicliffe, Molly Vandemoer, and Debbie Capozzi, and they’re one win from being eliminated from the medal chase themselves.

Women’s Match Racing gets into the elimination rounds, the final Olympic race for the RS:X (maybe) and the 470s get down to the nitty gritty.

The Olympic regatta is dwindling quickly. Two more medal races today means there are only six fleets still racing. Tom Slingsby, of Australia, got redemption

Two more medal races on tap. If you thought the Star medal race was exciting, wait until you see the set up for the Radial race.

With a bronze in hand, PJ Postma went for the gold in the bush, and wound up with nothing.

A banner day for the British and for fans of sailing. But a tough one for the U.S. Sailing Team.

To kick off our second week of Olympic coverage, we look at all the math and potential maneuvering involved in today’s two medal races.
