Ringdom did not get a penalty for her interaction with Bouwmeester. She got yellow flag in the first race and used her rudder too much in the second.That was why is was pulled out of the race. The reason she stopped the second race was because, if you start a race you are not allowed to start you can not deduct the points, so she would have gotten 45 points instead of 26. It turns out that at the world championships and Olympic Games, you are allowed to start if the race is restarted. This is not normally the case.
