David Hughes’ last 2016 Olympic sailing race postponed
Wed, 08/17/2016 - 4:15pm
David Hughes, son of Irene Marchenay of Edgecomb, has one more day before his and sailing partner Stuart McNay’s last race in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The men’s 470 medal race was postponed until Thursday, ussailing.org reported Wednesday afternoon. U.S. Sailing is the sport’s national governing body.
According to that website and nbcolympics.com, the duo, fourth going into the medal round, are out of contention for the podium based on the point breakdown from preliminary races — one of which they won.
