So sorry for Cyprus. Oh well. Keep on tryting for next time.

The Australian dude had the Gold won before the last race on points. All he had to do was finish, even last.

If I was him, I would have hung back in the field right at the back, just staying out of trouble and finish last. Well he started off last, then he picked everyone off one by one to end up finishing second. And he was havng a crack at first which I thought he didn't have to do at all.

Brave move considering the gold was in the bag already.

If something happened to his boat meaning he couldn't finish the race, he would have lost the Gold medal.
