High drama at Rio 2016
Tuesday's racing at Rio 2016 was one of the best ever with a Laser contest to rival the Ainslie-Scheidt spate of Sydney 2000, while oldest competitor, Santi Lange, claimed his third gong and first gold in the Nacra 17. There was equally stressful Medal Races in

the Laser Radial while Giles Scott confirmed his Finn gold. And as if that were not all...the gold medals were decided with a race to spare in the 49er and the 470 Women, the latter going to Britain's Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark.
