Sarah Douglas in ILCA 6 brings home an 8th from the 2024 Olympics
After 9 races Sarah slipped into the medal race in 10th place. Gold and Silver were already established, Bronze was up for grabs but out of Sarah’s reach. This didn’t prevent her from fighting for that which was in reach and she jumped ahead of France and the US to land herself in 8th.
Congratulations Sarah!!!
