USA Radial sailor Anna Tunnicliffe thought one of her rivals was a Laser Men's sailor, she was so far off to one side of the course. Tunnicliffe isn't persuaded of such radical tactics, the series leader preferring to steer a more conservative route

"That was the maddest two hours of my life," he said, just before he started the recording.

Instead, Myrgren suffered at the hands of the ruthless Goodison, and came away from the Olympics empty handed.
