Is the answer to last week’s question…
The Olympic sailing coverage has been undoubtedly the best ever with deck cams, athlete microphones, on-water and overhead footage and live tracking.

It was an absolute delight to watch Mara Stransky on her final day of racing finishing 3rd in the penultimate fleet race and 1st in her final race for the event. Mara was 14th overall at her first Olympics , which is an outstanding achievement and all the more notable after 18 months away from international events.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you no doubt know that Matt Wearn won the gold medal in the men’s Laser event, only having to finish the medal race, such was his lead.

Tom Slingsby, the 2012 London Olympics gold medal winner noted on social media this win was all the more noteworthy for the efforts of coach Michael “Blackers” Blackburn who “has now coached 3 back to back Olympic champions and has created a legacy in Australian sailing and the Laser class in general”.
Well done to Mara, Matt and Blackers, as well of the rest of the Australian Sailing Team!
Oh… and don’t forget to watch Matt Belcher and Will Ryan in the Men’s 470 medal race today – they go in with a 20 point lead and are unassailable so long as avoid any false start penalties.
