Harborough’s Olympic Sailor Holds Onto Top Spot At Tokyo 2020
Written by HFM News on 30th July 2021
Market Harborough sailor Dylan Fletcher and partner Stuart Bithell continue to lead the 49er class for Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics.
There are just three of the 12 races remaining and it is tight at the top of the leaderboard, with just five points separating the top four.
Dylan, a former student at Robert Smyth Academy, and Stuart came ashore with a second, third and 16th place finish in today’s races.
They will be back on the water tomorrow, as they look to book a place in Monday’s Medal race.
