Sailing: Kroger continues to impress in the 2.4mR

"It's very tight at the top of the fleet and a lot can happen."

Sydney 2000 2.4mR gold medallist Heiko Kroger (GER) continues to impress in the London 2012 2.4mR fleet after the German picked up his first bullet of the Paralympic Sailing Competition on 2 September to take the overall lead.

Thierry Schmitter (NED) won Race 3 and sits one point behind Kroger. Overnight leader Helena Lucas dropped to third overall after an 11th in Race 4.

"It was very tight today," said Schmitter. "I'm happy with the results so far. From race number six, it will get more interesting. At the moment, with discards, the positions could all change."
