Only nine races were completed including the medal race due to lack of wind. 45 sailors, on 15 boats, from 15 nations competed.[3] Ten boats qualified for the medal race.[4][5]

Weather conditions
[edit]In the lead up to the Olympics many questioned the choice of Qingdao as a venue with very little predicted wind. During the races the wind was pretty light and quite unpredictable. Due to lack of wind (< 1.6 knots) one racing day was cancelled and the medal race was postponed to the next day.[8]
