The pair had triumphed in both of their races in the blue fleet on Austrian lake Traunsee yesterday. 

Today, they again won all five of their races, with two discards giving them a net total of 5 points. 

Britain's Connor Bainbridge and Ellie Aldridge also impressed, with the duo claiming three first-place finishes, one second-place finish and one third-place finish in the red fleet.

After their discards, Bainbridge and Aldridge are second on the leaderboard with 6 points. 

Also on 6 points are compatriots Guy Bridge and Katie Dabson.

Competing in the yellow fleet, they achieved two victories and three second-place finishes. 

The opening series is due to run until Saturday (September 19), with semi-finals and a medal series scheduled for the following day.

The Formula Kite class is due to make its Olympic debut at Paris 2024 as part of the sailing programme.

The mixed team relay format was selected for the Olympics as the "most exciting", with International Kiteboarding Association (IKA) secretary general Markus Schwendtner claiming it had provided "spectacular racing".

"Since we can not pass a baton like in running, we have used swimming relay as the basis for our format," he said.

"So when one competitor crosses the 'changeover line,' finishing their lap, their teammate begins their lap by crossing the same line simultaneously. 

"The position during the changeover is not counted, but the final position at the finish line determines the placing for the team as a whole, bringing in an element of strategy. 

"In addition, since the riders have closing speeds close to 100 kilometres per hour, the timing is critical for the changeover, providing some spectacular racing."
