oh.. and looks like also in the women's matchracing!
Not sure how to pick that. The girl's have won every race so far but now they go to a knockout series, so maybe early-form isn't an indicator of the medals? ZERO coverage of it anyhow... blargghh.
Hopefully we get to see the RS:X medal races tomorrow!!
He is a fellow Central Coast sailor who I have seen many times out practicing in Lasers, A-class Cats and the Super Light Carbon Moth (which has a foil-keel). He certainly puts in the hours.
A 5 times world champion, who can pretty much sail anything including a sailboard. His girlfriend is the Italian windsurfer Flavia Tartaglini.
Well done Tom! One of the great wins I reckon. He did what he had to do in the medal race brilliantly and didn't risk going for glory by trying to win the race.
Top tactical sailing by Tom. I did feel a bit sorry for the Cypriot when I heard they had never won a medal. He didn't stand a chance for the gold with the way Tom was covering him. Looks like he'll be feted by the whole country for winning silver anyway. Well done to all competitors. It's a huge achievement just to be able to represent your country at the Olympics.
