With gold and silver already wrapped up by Australia and NZ (training partners, by the way), all the excitement in the 49er finale focused on which of five teams would take bronze....

The Danes won a tense battle for bronze in the 49er Medal Race in the lightest winds yet seen in Weymouth since the start of the Olympic Regatta. Justin and Andy discuss the 49er race, the match race that's in store between GB and NZ in the women's 470 a couple of days from now, and the failure of the USA to win a single medal at this Olympiad. The winner of the most sailing medals in the history of the modern Games, the last American hope vanished with the surprise exit of Anna Tunnicliffe's match racing team at the quarter final stage....

So much going on today, even if the racing schedule is starting to thin out in Weymouth. Here’s a flavour of what I found out chatting to various sailors, coaches and hangers-on around the Olympic centre....

Controversy surrounded the Medal Races for the RS-X windsurfing today, and no, it wasn’t the presence of British prime minister David Cameron. Zofia Noceti-Klepacka had won the bronze medal but then found herself being protested by the Ukrainian sailor - for the most bizarre of reasons. Questions too about the Australian 49er. Justin and Andy dig behind the headlines in Weymouth....

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, makes a royal visit to Weymouth today and feels the weight of Ben Ainslie’s golden gong. But it was Ben’s girlfriend Marit Bouwmeester who was in the thick of the action in a humdinger of a medal race to decide the Radials, while Tom Slingsby won Australia’s first gold of the regatta, although there are others on the way....

Australia are coming on strong, and threaten to topple the mighty Team GB from their perch as the pre-eminent sailing team in the world. Tom Slingsby wrapped up Australia’s first gold of the regatta, but his mates in the 49er Nathan Outteridge and Tom Slingsby sealed 49er gold with a Medal Race to spare, as did the Kiwis for silver.

Wow, what a day! Mine started with an early morning interview with BBC Radio 5 Live on Weymouth beach, and I was surprised to find Giles Scott already there. Giles, winner of just about every major Finn regatta including last year’s World Championship, but not yet an Olympian, must have been finding it tough watching this week’s racing.

Never given to exaggeration, Justin and Andy hesitate to use the word 'historic'. But if you're not going to use it today, the day Ben Ainslie became the most decorated Olympic sailor of all time, when are you going to use it?

Ben Ainslie admitted it had been “the hardest two weeks of my life” after he became the greatest sailing Olympian of all time. The Great Briton claimed his fourth Olympic gold medal – his fifth medal in total – to eclipse Paul Elvstrom’s previous best of four golds won between 1948 and 1960.

Today a new national hero emerged, a loser from China earns a shot at redemption, an Olympic Champion saw hope of any medal evaporate, and we have four women - none of whom have won an Olympic medal - level pegging in the Radial fleet. On Monday, three of them will stand on the podium, and one will be left with nothing. All of this discussed by Andy and Justin on today’s podcast from Weymouth....

After the bad blood of yesterday’s racing in the Finn, with the ‘did or didn’t Ben hit the mark?’ allegations, it was back to racing fair and square. Justin and Andy look at yet another dramatic day between Ben Ainslie and Jonas Hoegh Christensen, who now go into the Medal Race on level terms....
