Finn

From an International Finn Association press release:
"In the lead up to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the Finn class in Brazil is undergoing something of a resurgence. It's recent National Championship, held in Sao Paulo, attracted 25 boats, and many of them were new boats built in Brazil. The 2012 Olympian Jorge Zarf dominated the series with six race wins from seven races. Second was the double Olympic Star medalist Bruno Prada on his return to the Finn class. Andre Mirsky was third.

Also on the water was photographer Ale Socci from Green Pixel Photos. As well as the expected race action photos, he took some incredible water level shots of the fleet from a variety of angles proving once again, it's not what you have that matters, it's what you do with it."

Ben Ainslie gets an unchallenged mid-line start on Day 6, giving him all the room he needed to put in a solid performance and set up a pivotal Medal Race scenario.

Whether Ben Ainslie can claim his fifth medal has long been the story line of the 2012 Olympic Regatta, and Danish Finn sailor Jonas Hoegh-Christensen is the one big man standing in his way. It will all come down to the Medal Race on Sunday. The British press can hardly contain itself.
