Britain will excel in China, as it has in every major regatta for the last 8 years because we have the best training program. This will not change as long as the sponsors and money keeps coming in.

Makes you wonder why a few other sports can't learn from the excellence shown by the sailors and cyclists!

Our seafaring and riverfaring athletes are tip top but the rest of our athletes are useless and wouldn't know what a gold medal is.

I expect the GB squad to pick up less than 5 gold medals in China which is a disgrace.

One of the few people ever to beat the legendary Robert Scheidt. A true legend.

Team GBR spend more on sailing than Ireland spend on our entire Olympic Programme. It really puts us to shame. Although maybe we'd have more funds if our Health Service wasn't in such a mess, and all our politicians didn't have such a nast habit of stealing money from the government!

Indeed. A fantastic performance.

I'll happily eat my own hat & retract my ignorant statement
