Hall Sails Final Race at Her First Olympics

The ninth and 10th races for women's windsurfing were sailed on Sunday morning in London. Hall placed 16th in both races, which increased her rank among the 26 windsurfers from 22nd to 20th.

It was her first time at the Olympics.

In an interview with the U.S. Sailing Team after the races on Sunday, Hall said it has been an exciting trip.

“The light wind conditions we had today was better,” she said.

“I could put together races a bit better. In my development I am a better light-wind sailor. I’m going to keep working on that. It’s really exciting to be part of the U.S. Olympic Team. I’m really proud to represent our country. I’m happy to represent my family, my sponsors and my hometown.”

The top 10 competitors in the 10-race series advanced to the medal race, scheduled for Tuesday.
