The Finn competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics was the men's one-person heavyweight dinghy event and was held in Enoshima, Japan, from 27 July to 3 August 2021.[1] 19 sailors from 19 nations competed in 11 races, including one medal-race where points were doubled.[2] The land venue was Enoshima Yacht Harbour and races were held on Sagami Bay.[1][3]

Summary

Alican Kaynar of Turkey was the overnight leader after the first day after two bullets, followed by Zsombor Berecz of Hungary with two second-place finishes in the first two races.[4] Kaynar continued his lead after the second day, where Giles Scott had won the two races of the day.[5] For the medal race, six sailors were in contention for the medals, with Scott in the front.[6] Giles Scott won the Olympic gold medal, and Great Britain's sixth in a row in the event, which was also the last Finn class gold in the Olympics as the event left the Olympic programme.[7] Berecz, finishing ahead of Scott in the medal race but not enough points ahead to pass him, won the silver medal and Juan Cardona won the bronze medal.[7] The medals were presented by IOC vice-president from Singapore, Mr Ser Miang Ng (a former World Sailing vice-president) and current World Sailing vice-president Thomasz Chamera of Poland.
