OK - back to the 470s. It seems that Aust girls only have to finish 9th or better out of 10 in the final race to win gold or have the second place team not win the final race.

The men will have something similar but probably not yet as certain.

Actually - looking at the Mens 470s even with the medal race to go I don't think they can be beaten, even if they come last.

Aye - a sh!thouse performance. I imagine something of the chuntering along the lines of 1976 Montreal for you guys and Atlanta 96 for us...

That race was so close, it was virtually impossible to tell if the Kiwis had beaten the flagging German team. The British boat was only a couple of feet behind too.

Sensational (ignoring the worrying fact of Aussie men dressedin lycra doing well in pairs competitions).
