Kyriazakos makes it four in a row as Wu fights back in Saly
Greece's Evangelos Kyriazakos won all three races on day three of the windsurfing at Dakar 2026, while China's Wu Ziyan bounced back to rejoin the fight for gold in the women's fleet.
Kyriazakos was untouchable on Tuesday, winning races seven, eight and nine to make it four straight victories. He leads on eight points after nine races, seven clear of Hong Kong's Ng Hoi Tik.
The big mover was Thailand's Ittipol Yomjinda, whose fourth, second and fourth lifted him from eighth to third. Tunisia's Rayen Briki is fifth, bouncing back from a black flag disqualification in race eight to finish second in the last race of the day.
In the women's fleet, Wu returned from Monday's missed race to win race seven and is now level on 16 points with Spain's Olivia Sanchez. Italy's Laura Grasso Castagnetta still leads, three points clear, after winning the final race. Britain's Ruby Webb has climbed to sixth, despite being on OCS on the opening race of the regatta. OCS stands for "On Course Side". It means a boat (or any part of its hull, crew, or equipment) crossed over the starting line to the course side before the official starting signal was given.
Greece's Kyriaki Zerva's day began in third place, but with an OCS, she then won the very next race and sits fourth. "I just forgot it," she said. "I want to win all the races and manage to get the medal."
Tunisia's Frida Sethom, who came through World Sailing's African training programme, posted her best results of the week with a 10th and a ninth.
Racing continues on Wednesday 11 November with races 10 to 12, leaving three races on Thursday to decide the medals.
