Asian Games Aichi - Nagoya 2026 - Day 3 Race res Asian Games Aichi - Nagoya 2026 - Day 3 Race resumes in 6 events after a windless day The breeze began to build this afternoon, allowing six events to complete several races each, after all races had been postponed yesterday due to a lack of wind. Highlights Rain and light winds of around 8 knots tested the ILCA fleets, with several nations challenging at the front. China made a strong start in the Olympic qualifying events, while Hong Kong, China sailed consistently in the women’s fleet. Some frontrunners returning from the World Championships took time to settle. Today’s conditions Rain came and went throughout the morning, while light winds forced the scheduled 11:00 am start to be postponed. It was the third consecutive morning with little or no wind, raising concerns that racing might not be possible. However, a southwesterly breeze filled in after midday and settled at around 8 knots, allowing racing to begin. Once the D flag was hoisted, the Mixed Dinghy, Youth Mixed Dinghy, Men’s Dinghy and Women’s Dinghy fleets headed to the racing area, followed shortly afterwards by the Men’s and Women’s Skiff fleets. Racing for the Boys’ and Girls’ Skiff and Boys’ and Girls’ Dinghy events was cancelled for the day and postponed until tomorrow.

Gamagori Left Waiting for Wind All Asian Games sa Gamagori Left Waiting for Wind All Asian Games sailing races in Gamagori were postponed until tomorrow as a stationary autumn rain front left the venue with little to no wind. Today’s conditions Typhoon No. 26 remains south of Japan and is moving slowly toward the Japanese archipelago. Around Gamagori, the autumn rain front remains stationary, leaving the area with little to no wind. At 2:20 pm, all racing was postponed until tomorrow. There is little anyone can do when the wind fails to appear. Nevertheless, it was a disappointing day for sailors in the Youth Mixed Dinghy and Boys’ and Girls’ Dinghy events, who were due to begin racing today but ended the day without going on the water. Everyone is hoping that all ten dinghy classes can race tomorrow. @asiansailing @worldsailingofficial @asiangamesoca @asiangames_2026
