Moving focus away from the 49ers, Yngling and 470s it's now time to zoom in on the Men's Laser and Women's Laser Radial classes.

Aussie Sarah Blanck is placed 4th going into the medal race and still has a very good chance to claim a medal. Current world champion Tom Slingsby didn't manage to make the top ten and therefore misses out on racing in the medal event.

So best of luck to Sarah! She really does deserve a medal.

And in the Laser class - may the best sailor win.

gogogo.....

Congratulations Sarah - 4th overall after the medal race.

I was watching the race on the ISAF RSS feed while at work - Tuncliffe made HUGE ground in one leg, leapfrogging several places. Just incredible.

Well done to Sarah - I wonder if she dispelled any of the rumblings over her place in the team?
