Live: Singapore's Max Maeder in kitefoiling final at Paris Olympics

SINGAPORE: It's been eight years since Singapore won an Olympic medal - and the country is pinning its hopes on Maximilian Maeder when he races in the men's kitefoiling final on Thursday (Aug 8).

The 17-year-old world champion secured his spot a day earlier as one of the top two competitors, behind Slovenia's Toni Vodisek. There will be four sailors racing for podium finishes.

The kitefoiling final was scheduled to kick off as early as 8pm Singapore time, but that has been pushed back and the start time would vary depending on wind conditions.
