Rayen Briki climbed from fifth to third overall in the windsurfing at Dakar 2026 after a strong run of results on Wednesday, putting the Tunisian in bronze medal position heading into Thursday's finale.
Briki finished third, second and second on the day to move to 32 points, two clear of Thailand's Ittipol Yomjinda. Tunisia is one of the nations involved in World Sailing's African training programme, so a podium finish on the Games' home continent would carry extra weight.
Out in front, Greece's Evangelos Kyriazakos won races ten and eleven to extend his winning streak to six races in a row, before easing back to second in the last race of the day. He now leads Hong Kong's Ng Hoi Tik by 11 points.
The women's fleet remains unsettled, with no one yet able to break clear.
Italy's Laura Grasso Castagnetta won race ten and sits atop the standings on 17 points, just two ahead of Spain's Olivia Sanchez, who answered back by winning race eleven. China's Wu Ziyan is third on 23 points.
Greece's Kyriaki Zerva had the best day of anyone on the water: a third, a second and a win. She's still fourth overall, 11 points off the podium, but that scoreline on the second-to-last day could yet shake up the leaderboard.
The final three races, which will decide both titles, sail on Thursday 12 November.
