Kontides, the current world number one in the ILCA7 class, finished with 45 penalty points after nine races. The gold medal went to British sailor Eliot Hanson with 39 points, while Croatian sailor Tonci Stipanovic placed third with 49 points. The competition featured athletes from several countries, including Great Britain, Australia, Croatia, Hungary, New Zealand, and the United States.
