A summary of how the Brits got on today and how they lie overall

 Two more medals make a total of three to the British so far and the first day out for the Tornado and Star

Finn – Gold

Ben Ainslie – Not the best position he’s posted this week at 14th, but easily good enough to secure his second gold medal making him the most successful British Olympic sailor along side Rodney Pattisson, who also scored a silver and two golds.

470 Men – Silver medal

Nick Rogers and Jo Glanfield – Clearly very relieved to have come away with a medal after their disappointment in Sydney. A welld eserved achievement, albeit rounded off with a rather strange race that saw them sailed out of the back of the fleet.

470 Women – 7th overall

Christina Bassadone and Katherine Hopson – A 7th today and a 7th overall proves that this pair are capable of getting close to the medal zone. A good week with some impressive results often in the top five.

Tornado – 11th Overall

Leigh McMillan & Mark Buckeley – First day out and an 8th and 14th in the bag

Star – 4th overall

Iain Percy & Steve Mitchell – First day out and an 8th and a 3rd gets the pair off to a good start.

49er – Currently 3rd overall

Chris Draper and Simon Hiscocks – No sailing today

Paul Goodison – Final tomorrow and one to watch

Europe – Currently 24th overall

Laura Baldwin – No sailing today, last race tomorrow

Men’s Windsurfer – 6th overall

Nick Dempsey – A 1st in the first race, a 10th in the second takes Nick up to 4th overall

Women’s Windsurfer – 9th overall

Natasha Sturges – A 12th and an 11th today pulls her up the table once again
