She secured 75 total points and 57 net points in the competition, which followed the international low-point fleet racing format. Verma had retired from Race 1 but competed in each of the remaining races. The gold medal was won by Thailand's Pinchanok Klaysomboon (25 total points), silver by Hong Kong's Zixi Huang (29 total points), and bronze by South Korea's Song Lee (31 total points). ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both rediff.com and CNBCTV18.com carried the PTI wire copy verbatim, producing identical neutral-report coverage.
