For those who did hit trouble in the morning’s Quarter-Finals, this afternoon’s twin Last Chance races gave one final opportunity to remain in the competition.
After a drive-through penalty wrecked its earlier chances, Team France ran away with the first, finishing well clear of 2022 gold medallist Team United Kingdom. Greece, Malta and Dominican Republic also made it through. Team Albania dominated the second, with Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei and Ukraine also progressing.
