Sounds like a fun day in the office for the Olympic Tornado sailors today - with 20 knots of breeze. From the official olympics site:

Quote
Tornado (Multihull)

Spaniards Fernando Echavarri and Anton Paz of Spain just managed to retain their overall lead after the Tornado fleet sailed one race in Area E in strong winds and heavy seas on Sunday.

Below the Spaniards, who came in fourth in the race, the point standings changed dramatically. Darren Bundock and Glenn Ashby of Australia won the race and are now one point behind Echavarri and Paz. With twice the points of Bundock and Ashby, Iordanis Paschalidis and Konstantinos Trigonis of Greece are in third place overall.

Results from Today's race.

Overall results

Chris.

Wow, the Tornado results couldn't be much tighter after 7 races! A tie for first, and two points separating all those from third to seventh place!

Maybe they should make everyone carry a Code Zero so we (USA) might have a chance.

I think Code Zero is like

New Coke
