Lee Korzits had another encouraging day in the Women's Windsurfing competition, but there was disappointment for athletes Jillian Schwartz and Donald Sanford. Steven Solomon put in a stunning performance in the 400m.

WINDSURFING
Israel's top medal hope Lee Korzits returned to second place after an excellent performance in the Women's RS-X event in Weymouth.

Korzits looked refreshed after a 24-hour break to climb a place after finishing her race in 25:39 to leave her just behind Marina Alabau of Spain.

Her finish sets the defending world champion up nicely for Tuesday's medal race which follows 10 preliminary events.
