# Sailing at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Finn

The Finn competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics was the men's one-person heavyweight dinghy event and was held in Enoshima, Japan, from 27 July to 3 August 2021. 19 sailors from 19 nations competed in 11 races, including one medal-race where points were doubled. The land venue was Enoshima Yacht Harbour and races were held on Sagami Bay.

## Summary

Alican Kaynar of Turkey was the overnight leader after the first day after two bullets, followed by Zsombor Berecz of Hungary with two second-place finishes in the first two races. Kaynar continued his lead after the second day, where Giles Scott had won the two races of the day.
For the medal race, six sailors were in contention for the medals, with Scott in the front. Giles Scott won the Olympic gold medal, and Great Britain's sixth in a row in the event, which was also the last Finn class gold in the Olympics as the event left the Olympic programme. Berecz, finishing ahead of Scott in the medal race but not enough points ahead to pass him, won the silver medal and Juan Cardona won the bronze medal.
The medals were presented by IOC vice-president from Singapore, Mr Ser Miang Ng (a former World Sailing vice-president) and current World Sailing vice-president Thomasz Chamera of Poland.
