Only nine races were completed including the medal race due to lack of wind. 30 sailors, on 15 boats, from 15 nations competed.[3] Ten boats qualified for the medal race.[4]

Weather conditions

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 had to be cancelled and the medal race needed to be postponed to the next day.[7]
