Fingers crossed for our boys! I saw them interviewing the GB team last night about the sailing final and they kept saying that the gold is our for the losing, grrrr c’mon Aussie stick it to em

might be a different class. In the 49ers, Nathan Otteridge and Iain Jensen have already wrapped it up before the final race. So we’re definitely up to 5 gold

...I just looked up what you were talking about and that is the men’s 470 class. Australia has a one point lead over team GB going into the final two races, as far as I can gather…so with some luck we might be up to 6 gold!

No we arent, they have to finish the race to win it. So they better not crash out!

even if they crash out, they still have enough points already? thats what I thought. Could well be wrong, though.
