London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition

Weymouth and Portland, Great Britain

ISAF received notification of an application filed by the Russian Olympic Committee to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on 11 August 2012.

The application challenged the result of the Women's Match Racing Semi Final result between Spain and Russia.

ISAF responded to the application and the case has subsequently been dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 11 August.

ISAF's rules, policies and procedures assure athletes a level playing field and ISAF is disappointed that the Russian Olympic Committee filed the application to CAS. ISAF is pleased that CAS was able to make their decision so quickly and allow the Women's Match Racing Finals to continue uninterrupted today.

Follow all the action on the ISAF Olympic Live Blog which will bring competition updates and instant reactions to the action on the race course. Fans can check in and ask our media team questions to get the very latest information. The blog will start one hour before racing each and every day of the competition.
