MARK REYNOLDS WITH GARY JOBSON: ROLEX YACHTSMAN OF THE YEAR SERIES

Today a new national hero emerged, a loser from China earns a shot at redemption, an Olympic Champion saw hope of any medal evaporate, and we have four women - none of whom have won an Olympic medal - level pegging in the Radial fleet. On Monday, three of them will stand on the podium, and one will be left with nothing.....

Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes showed extreme composure to score fourth and second places today. With the 49ers having completed six races all boats are able to discount their biggest score of the series, an event that catapulted the Brits up the leaderboard from 12th to fifth place overall, just three points off the medal spots.

Stephen Park answers questions about the British sailors, his thoughts on Goodison’s injury, Ainslie’s struggles in the Finn, and even about Bradley Wiggins’ victory in the cycling time trial today

Paul Goodison admitted he was looking forward to tomorrow’s rest day after keeping himself in the hunt for a medal. The reigning Laser class champion, who yesterday revealed a back injury was hampering his title defence, sits sixth overall after six races, following hard fought fourth and ninth place finishes today.

Evi Van Acker carries the expectations of Belgium, and she’s responding very well to it after a good day in the Radial class

Dan Slater won the first race of the day in the Finn. It’s tough work out there, and Dan said there’s nothing to prepare you for the weirdness of an Olympic Regatta...

Cor blimey! Is there no stopping the Dane? A second place to add to two bullets on day 1, then he cocks it up hitting the starting mark, starts from dead last and surges through the fleet (past Ben Ainslie) back up to 7th place. Performance of the regatta thus far

By Ben Ainslie standards, it was a shocker. And Ben made no secret of how pissed off he was with himself. “No excuses, I’ve got to sort it out.” This is what he said when he spoke to us media hacks after day 2 of Finn racing

Not a great start to the Olympic regatta for Stevie Morrison, but the British 49er sailor is upbeat about his prospects for the rest of the week

Not long back from the Volvo Ocean Race, Spanish 49er sailor Iker Martinez talks about luck, and his hopes for winning a third Olympic medal in the 49er
