Dorian van Rijsselberghe (born 24 November 1988, in Den Burg) is a sailor from the Netherlands.[1][2] Van Rijsselberghe on the Dutch RS:X took the Gold[3] during the 2012 Olympics,[4][5] in Weymouth.

Olympic races

Van Rijsselberghe dominated the competition completely by finishing first among the 38 competitors in 7 out of 10 races, second twice and third once.[6] After the ninth race, he had accumulated a sufficient lead over the second placed Nick Dempsey to be certain to win the gold medal – as long as he competed in the remaining races – irrespective of his results in the 10th race and in the medal race.
