The 10-race opening series did little to separate out the medalists as four sailors entered the medal race separated by only one point. Xu Lijia of China, the 2008 bronze medalist in the event, was tied with Dutchwoman Marit Bouwmeester with 33 points, trailed by Annalise Murphy (IRL) and Evi Van Acker (BEL) with 34. In the medal race, Xu went ahead on the downwind leg, passing Murphy, but then had to perform a penalty turn for illegal propulsion. But she quickly regained the lead and sailed on to win the gold medal, with Bouwmeester coming in for silver and Van Acker taking bronze.
