RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Oh, what a golden finish it was for Brazil in the Rio Olympics sailing regatta.
Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze sent their fellow Brazilians into a frenzy on Flamengo Beach on Thursday after holding off the New Zealand crew by two seconds to win the gold medal in the women's 49erFX class, which was making its Olympic debut.
The host country's only sailing medal of the games, it came in the last race of the regatta.
It added to the legacy of the Grael family, and it launched quite the party.
