Isabelle Kinsolving learned to sail while summering with her grandmother on Fishers Island, N.Y. She did not race sailboats seriously until attending college, but was a versatile athlete who played soccer and ice hockey during her early school years. She was one of only three girls to play on a co-ed ice hockey team in New York City.
On the new Olympic rule that does not allow a sailor’s worst race to be dropped from the points total: “The decision will put an emphasis on conservative sailing because avoiding OCSs and DSQs will be critical,” Kinsolving told Sailing Medallist.
