Paine and Railey both face big challenges in American Olympic selection race.

The field is narrowing as the Rio Olympics draw ever closer, and a key event is the 2016 Finn European Championships, set to begin this Friday in Barcelona.
![Zach Railey, Beijing 2008 silver medalist, came out of Olympic sailing "retirement" at the Finn Gold Cup in October 2015. In a release from US Sailing Team Sperry, Railey said it has been a difficult but enjoyable task to get ready for the Olympic selection events. “I’ve been back in boat for five months, and am now back to the right weight for the boat. I’m training with friends and enjoying it. In the last two months I’ve improved a lot, and that should only continue over the next six weeks [until the second selection event in Barcelona, Spain].”](https://www.sailingworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/zach_railey.jpg?w=800)
