9:13 - Update

I think that's it for the day. What a day for Great Britain; a silver medal for Nick Rogers & Joe Glanfield in the 470 men, at least a silver medal assured for Paul Goodison in the Lasers, Iain Percy & Andrew Simpson move into second place after race 7 in the Stars, Nick Dempsey is second in the RS:X men, Bryony Shaw just 2 points off 3rd in the RS:X women. Happy days!

9:06 - Laser - Race 9 Finish

Paul Goodison finishes 6th - he's now on 45 points. Swedish sailor Rasmus Myrgren finished 2nd - he's now on 63 points. Paul Goodison is now assured of silver at least. If the Swede finishes first in the medal race and Paul Goodison finishes last then the Swede can win gold but I think that's the only result which would stop Paul winning gold!

9:00 - Laser - Race 9 Update

They're coming into the finish, the leaders just have the short reach from the leeward mark to the finish line. New Zealand sailor Andrew Murdoch is leading, Swedish sailor Rasmus Myrgren is second.

8:31 - Star - Race 7 Update

Iain Percy & Andrew Simpson are leading at the final windward mark. The Swedish team of Freddie Loof & Anders Ekstrom are back in 12th. This would move Iain & Bart into the lead overall!

8:28 - Laser Radial - Race 9 Finish

Penny Clark has finished 13th. She's just scraped into the medal race - she's on the same points as Croatian Mateja Petronijevic, but because she won race 3 she's through! Unfortunately her medal chances are over.

The Brits have moved up to 4th at the second windward mark.

8:23 - Laser - Race 9 Update

Going into race 9 (the final race before the medal race) Paul Goodison is on 39 points, Vasilij Zbogar (SLO) is on 56 points, Italian Vasilij Zbogar is on 59 points. Even with his discard counted, Paul Goodison is in the lead so he will lead into the medal race. I find it amazing that the world champion, Australian Tom Slingsby is in 20th - he had his best result of the event in race 8, but that was an 11th...

7:27 - 470 Women - Medal Race Update

Final windward mark; Brazil lead, Israel 2n, Italy 3rd, Great Britain 4th. There's a red flag for someone - looks like the Spanish - penalty turn for them. Christina Bassadone & Saskia Clark would finish 6th overall if positions stay the same.

6:50 - Tornado - Race 6 Update

Going into the final lap Leigh McMillan & Will Howden are in 10th. They were 4th after the first lap so will be a bit disappointed at the moment. Lets hope they can climb back on the final lap. A 14th in race 5 has put them 11th overall. Work to do here!
