Familiar Territory For Belcher And Page

Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page (AUS) end the third day of Men’s 470 racing in the familiar top spot, four points clear of Great Britain’s Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell.

The Australians had a fantastic day on the water taking both race wins as they made it three in a row for eight points. “It’s a great position to be in,” said Belcher. “We haven’t lost an event all year and that gives us great confidence, we feel very comfortable in the yellow jersey, it’s not going to stop us sleeping at night but we’re also experienced enough to know that there’s still four races to go.”

Sabor agridulce para el debut de los chicos argentinos hoy porque arrancaron con un soberbio 5to puesto y en la segunda regata se tumbaron cuando venian 9nos. Un 12vo en la general que es una verdadera pena porque según se veia en la tele y en cómo fue la evolucion de la primer regata, volaban en todas las condiciones. A sacarse esta regata de la cabeza que sera el descarte seguramente y a seguir luchando. Desde aca les tenemos una fe ciega.

Fired Up Ainslie Closes The Gap On Hogh-Christensen

Ben Ainslie (GBR) brought Jonas Hogh-Christensen’s (DEN) ten point lead down to three on an exciting day of Finn racing that didn’t escape the drama.
Ainslie won Race 7 convincingly despite early pressure from Rafa Trujillo (ESP) and Pieter-Jan Postma (NED) later on in the race. The Dane was unable to keep up with Ainslie’s downwind speed and midway through the race the Dane capsized and slipped to 15th, but was able to recover to finish eighth. Hogh Christensen said, “There was big waves and strong breeze and a second of not paying attention and hitting a bad wave you capsize.”

We’ve got another two races in the harbour tomorrow with similar kind of winds and keep doing what we’re doing.

Van Rijsselberge Takes Centre Stage

Dorian Van Rijsselberge (NED) took centre stage in the Men’s RS:X as he took two race wins in the first day of windsurfing at the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition.
The Dutchman blew the field away in both races to come out of the traps flying. In Race 1 he finished 42 seconds ahead of Przemyslaw Miarczynski (POL) and in Race 2 the difference was more than one minute. On his day Van Rijsselberge said, “It was just solid racing and I can’t complain. It doesn’t really matter how far you’re in front. A bullet’s a bullet, and a no bullet is a no bullet.”

Blows Traded By Brits And Brazilians

Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson (GBR) and Robert Scheidt and Bruno Prada (BRA) traded blows in the Star today with both crews winning a race and finishing second in the other.
With the discard coming into play the Brits have a four point lead at the top of the leader board over the Brazilians having put their 11th in Race 1 behind them to sail consistently. With a narrow advantage the Brits remain wary, “We would like to extend the gap. Four points is just two places in the medal race when the points are doubled. There are so any good people in the fleet. All we can do is paddle to the end. We are definitely here to defend our title but it is going to be a fight to the end.”
