US Olympic Gold Medallist Anna Tunnicliffe and Veronika Fenclova of the Czech Republic are tied at the top of the leader board after day one of racing at the 2009 Laser Radial Worlds in Karatsu, Japan.

The 2009 ISAF Grade W Women's Laser Radial World Championships started today with two races being sailed. All 87 registered competitors from 30 countries were on the water today, with the competition split into two fleets.

The Czech Republic's Veronika Fenclova started World Championship perfectly with a win in race one. Following that result with a fifth she sits at the top of the overall standings at the end of day one.

Tied on six points with Fenclova is Beijing Olympic gold medallist and ISAF Sailing World Cup leader Anna Tunnicliffe (USA) who posted 2, 4 scores in her two races. Young Spanish star Susana Romero was also off to a flying start with a sixth and a race win putting her third overall.

The anticipated wind was late coming so the fleets were postponed on the water wit
