Paris Olympics sailing: GB’s Ellie Aldridge wins gold in women’s kite final
Great Britain’s Ellie Aldridge has won gold in the women’s kite sailing final at Paris 2024.
The 27-year-old became the inaugural Olympic kite champion by winning two races in the final series on Thursday.
Three victories are needed in the final series for an athlete to finish first, but Aldridge carried one over from the opening series.
It was Team GB’s 13th gold medal of Paris 2024.
Having won the first race of the final, Aldridge took a dramatic victory in the second after leader Lauriane Nolot, of France, fell into the water and the Briton was able to sail around her for the success.
Nolot won silver based on her two automatic wins from the opening series and Annelous Lammerts of Netherlands took bronze thanks to her combined points total.
