As one of four quarterfinal match-ups, USA lost the first two races on Aug. 7, and then came back strong the next to win Race 3. In the "first-to-win three points" series, the pressure was on USA to win the next match; however, Finland went on to win the fourth race, eliminating the U.S. boat from medal contention.
Amanda Clark and Sarah Lihan finished the 10-race series in the Women’s 470 in 9th place overall and advanced to the medal race on Aug. 10.
