SAN DIEGO -- Santiago Lange lost count of how many times he broke down during the celebration on the shore of Guanabara Bay, where one of the more remarkable stories of the Rio Olympics played out. Wyatt Teller Hoodie .It was many, said Lange, a 54-year-old Argentine who became the oldest medalist at the Rio Games.Lange, a cancer survivor and six-time Olympian, and crewmember Cecilia Carranza Saroli won the first Olympic gold medal in the Nacra 17 mixed catamaran class Tuesday at the sailing regatta. What followed at Flamengo Beach were unending rounds of group hugs, handshakes and backslaps.And, yes, go ahead and cry along with him, Argentina.These whole games have been incredible for me, said Lange, who marched alongside sons Yago and Klaus during the opening ceremony. Theyve been a very emotional games. Watching the racing of my sons, and my sons watching my racing, and today celebrating with them. Its just been too much for me.Already a two-time bronze medalist in the discontinued Tornado catamaran class, Santiago was the most popular guy in the boat basin. As he and Saroli came to shore, his sons, who sail in the 49er class, jumped into the water to greet them.My children swam to the ship, Lange said. They had a regatta yesterday and were disqualified unjustly. If not theyd be fighting for a medal. So, what more can you ask from life?The shore-side celebration lasted for several minutes, with several people waving Argentinian flags. Theyd probably still be standing in the surf if it werent for media obligations and the medal ceremonyAfter receiving his gold medal, Lange hopped off the podium and ran over to hug his sons.Lange had to beat lung cancer before he had a chance to beat the fleet.He was diagnosed last year and had his left lung removed.I was very lucky to find it, Lange said. Probably if I wasnt travelling so much and wasnt so tired it wouldnt have been found. I see myself as very lucky.Lange and Saroli won the gold after finishing sixth in the medal race, rallying from last after being penalized at the start.They took the gold by just one point over Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin of Australia. Thomas Zajac and Tanja Frank of Austria won the bronze.Zajac said other sailors sometimes joke about Lange being the old man. But hes shown everyone. Hes here.On the busiest day of the regatta, Caleb Paine of San Diego won the Finn class medal race and took the bronze, the first sailing medal for the United States at the Rio Games. Britains Giles Scott had clinched the gold two days earlier. Silver went to Vasilij Zbogar of Slovenia.Thats pretty awesome. I was thinking about that today, and adding to the U.S. medal count is pretty cool and Im excited about that, Paine said.The Americans lead the all-time Olympic sailing medals table with 60. They were whitewashed at the London Games, failing to win an Olympic sailing medal for the first time since 1936.Ive worked for this for a long time and Ive been sailing for a very long time, so for good things to come together at the right time is what its all about, said Paine, who beat 2008 silver medalist Zach Railey during the selection process. Im happy to come away with a third but look forward to maybe down the line coming back again and going for gold.Three other gold medals were decided.Peter Burling and Blair Tuke of New Zealand clinched the 49er gold with a race to spare, capping a dominating four years in which their only loss came in a Rio regatta last month. The silver and bronze will be decided Thursday.Blair and myself are absolutely stoked, Burling said. Its been a massive four years for us and weve really impressive performances along the way. Its exactly what we wanted to do. Were just on top of the world at the moment.The Kiwis have an unassailable 34-point lead over Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel of Germany. Defending gold medalists Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen of Australia are three points back in third.Tom Burton of Australia won the Laser gold medal after escaping from Tonci Stipanovics attempt to sail him to the back of the fleet at the start. Stipanovic came in already having been assured of at least the silver. His is the first Olympic sailing medal for Croatia. Bronze went to Sam Meech of New Zealand.Brazils Robert Scheidt fell just short in his attempt to become the first sailor and first Brazilian to win six Olympic medals. Although he won the medal race, he finished fourth overall, four points behind Meech.Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands won the gold medal in the womens Laser Radial, upgrading the silver she won in London. Annalise Murphy of Ireland took the silver and Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark the bronze.Defending bronze medalist Evi Van Acker of Belgium finished fourth.
