So what do sailors do when there's no sailing? And just as importantly, what do the team management do?
Ever-competitive (Aussies, they say, will bet on two flies crawling up a wall), here is Rob Brown (AUS Programme Manager) and Emmett Lazich (AUS 49er and Tornado Coach) whiling away an afternoon of inactivity. There are a lot of flag poles in the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Centre, and the trick here is to slalom round the almost-circle in the main plaza. This time Lazich did it in 1m 26 sec. Anyone care to have a crack at that?
