They will be fighting for gold tomorrow - Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke have made up so much ground recently that everything is possible for the German athletes in tomorrow's medal race
The calm wind conditions in Enoshima are causing a stir in the calendar. There are no races today, tomorrow's dates will follow in the course of the day

The official decision came this morning after German local time, as our local reporter Tatjana Pokorny has just announced. The organisers are taking the light wind conditions into account and are postponing the regattas scheduled for today until tomorrow.

This results in an ambitious schedule that has not yet been finalised in detail. We will report here in the course of the day exactly what it looks like.

What is certain is that four Medal Races will take place, three of them with German participation.

Fighting in the 49er FXTina Lutz andSusann Beucke for an Olympic medal. In the men's skiffsErik HeilandThomas Plößel at the start. And in the Nacra 17 arePaul Kohlhoff andAlicia Stuhlemmer on course for success.
