Mat Belcher and Will Ryan, and Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin, remain in podium positions with only their respective Medal Races remaining at the Kiel Week regatta in Germany.

470 Olympic silver medallists Belcher and Ryan moved up from third place to second with a bullet and 8 on the penultimate day, leaving them just three points behind leaders Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom of Sweden. Nacra 17 Olympic silver medallists Waterhouse and Darmanin held second place with a 7 and 4, and enter the double points finale seven points shy of Britons John Gimson and Anna Burnet. Newcomers to the class, Olympic 49er gold and silver medallist Nathan Outteridge and former 49erFX sailor Haylee Outteridge kept improving their rank to 8th in the Nacra fleet.

Other positive movers on Day 4 were 49er crew David Gilmour and Joel Turner, who are eighth after being 12th overnight, with the Medal Race remaining, while Finn sailor Jake Lilley entered the top 10 for the first time, with only their Medal Race to go.
