Uruguay's 49er sailing team, Umpierre and Diz, take the lead in the European Championship in France.

Uruguay's 49er sailing team, Hernan Umpierre and Fernando Diz, surged to the top of the leaderboard at the European Championship in La Grande Motte, France, scoring 1,1,4 in the first three races of gold fleet competition. Their impressive performance is a big deal for the small sailing nation, which has never qualified a 49er for the Olympic Games. The team now shares the lead with the previous leaders, but has a better tiebreak.
