Are you kidding me? Your countryman is a cheat ganging up on Ben with the Dane forcing him to take a penalty turn. Filthy cheats like your countryman don't deserve medals :mad:.
The Dutchman and the Dane say they saw the infringement. Ainslie says there was none. Were you in the water at the point of contact/non-contact? Did you see exactly what happened? It's the word of two people against one, none of whom are remotely objective supported on either side by fans, none of whom are remotely objective either . I love Ben Ainslie and I desperately hope he wins today but there's no denying that the man is beyond competitive and an animal in that boat (not that I'm saying that's in any way a bad thing ).

No i didn't see it but don't you think it is awfully convenient that his nearest rivals both saw something :D. The fact that it made Ben so angry tells me that he genuinely believes he didn't hit it, if he thought he might have hit it i doubt he'd have been so mad. He is a bad ass but that's why he's on the verge of becoming the best sailor in olympic history.
Go on Ben - I've followed his career since he was 19 and won an unexpected Silver in the Laser class in Atlanta. That Danish guy is nothing but a pirate .
No, Dutch and we are way ahead of the Australians in the medal table
You guys have mostly great gold medal winners, but Ainslie winning today would put a bit of tarnish on that greatness (talk about giving English gentlemanship a bad name, he makes Cav look like a choirboy :eek:).
Ben Ainslie won and is the the greatest sailor ever.

Dutch in third but if the Brit can move up a place or two it can be decisive apparently ...
Yeah it's so close right now. That last manoevre went well for Ben though.
I have no idea what just went on, though
How come the Dane won 7 out of ten races and yet all the Brit had to do was finish ahead of him today ???
Lol , it was though wasn't it , sketching right out at that thought the Dutch matey was gonna pip them both.
Thought it was going the way of the other race.
Exciting. Well done Ben.
And me, it was nerve wracking at times (I needed the commentary and the graphics as I didn't have a clue most of the time).
Well done Ben.

It'll be a bumper New Year's honours list for our sportsmen and women this year
I could have done with some kind of simple in-screen animation or computer graphic to show the positions all the time .
TeamGB now have 15 Gold medals!
