Olympics

Evi Van Acker carries the expectations of Belgium, and she’s responding very well to it after a good day in the Radial class

Another great day for Jonas Hoegh Christensen in the Finn, a disastrous one for Ben Ainslie. Tom Slingsby looking good in the Laser, but Guatemala in the lead.

Defending champions, Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson, sounded a warning signal to the rest of the Star fleet as they stealthily moved into pole position on day two of the Olympic Regatta at Weymouth and Portland.

Dan Slater won the first race of the day in the Finn. It’s tough work out there, and Dan said there’s nothing to prepare you for the weirdness of an Olympic Regatta...

Cor blimey! Is there no stopping the Dane? A second place to add to two bullets on day 1, then he cocks it up hitting the starting mark, starts from dead last and surges through the fleet (past Ben Ainslie) back up to 7th place. Performance of the regatta thus far

By Ben Ainslie standards, it was a shocker. And Ben made no secret of how pissed off he was with himself. “No excuses, I’ve got to sort it out.” This is what he said when he spoke to us media hacks after day 2 of Finn racing
