 The
Olympics, there can be no greater event at which to excel. Just to
get to the Games requires an extraordinary level of commitment, focus
and ability.
Once there the world's top sailors need to put in a lifetime's best
performance on one day and then repeat it, day after day. For some
the pressure of the event takes its toll and pushes competitors over
the edge, for others the global attention brings out the very best
in their game. Little surprise that winning a medal at the Olympic
Games remains the most prestigious and impressive of sporting achievements.
For spectators the Games represent some of the best sailing action
available with nine diverse classes racing over 15 days. World famous
names such as Ben Ainslie, Dean Barker, Paul Cayard, Iain Percy are
just a few of the star studded cast that will be racing in Athens.
Yachting World will be on site for the duration of the event watching
every move of the world's top Olympic sailors and reporting back live
as the news happens. In addition we'll be providing
links to the action where viewers will be able to watch mark by mark
roundings for each of the classes along with the time differences
between each of the competitors.
Racing starts on Saturday 14 August with the 470, Tornado and Yngling
classes getting matters underway. The event finishes on Saturday 28
August with the closing ceremony taking place the following day on
the 29th.
The Olympics is simply the greatest show on earth, don't miss it. |
