It's all to play for going into the final day of the YANMAR International World Championships at Hayama, Japan. Robert Greenhalgh had the best scoreline on the day with 1,2,1 results and is now up to third overall, just five points off the lead. He can't afford any slip-ups after his broken shroud earlier in the regatta but is showing now just how much pace he has.

The super-consistent Olympic gold medallist Paul Goodison leads overall, but Chris Rashley is biting at his heals just two points behind.

The final day is going to be a nail-biter as these three battle for the title. Scott Babbage is still in with a shout just 5 points off the podium... could he spoil the British party and bring the title back to Australia?

Results after Day 4: (12 races, 2 discards)
