Watch dinghy finals sailing at Olympics 2024 for the conclusion of one of the most unpredictable events of the Games. So unpredictable they had to be hastily rescheduled for Wednesday, August 7. Below we have all the information on how to watch dinghy finals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

The weather hasn't been playing ball at all at the Roucas-Blanc Marina, which has made for an extremely frustrated fleet of sailors. Reigning champion and pre-competition favorite Matt Wearn (AUS) has still managed to top the leaderboard in the men's dinghy (also known as the ILCA 7 and Laser), ahead of 2012 silver medalist Pavlos Kontides (CYP).

Reigning champion Anne-Marie Rindom (DEN) and Rio gold medalist Marit Bouwmeester (NED) have dominated the women's dinghy (aka the ILCA 6 and Laser Radial), and the Dutch sailor built an unassailable lead ahead of the final. Lara Vadlau and Lukas Mahr (AUT), meanwhile, have set the standard in the first ever mixed dinghy (aka the 470), with the combination of veteran Jordi Xammar and debutant Nora Brugman (ESP) on the chase.

Here's where to watch dinghy finals and all the 2024 Olympic Sailing live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
