Britain’s Ben Ainslie has claimed the third Olympic gold medal of his sailing career by winning in the Finn class. Ainslie, aged 31 years, already has golds from Athens and Sydney as well as a silver from the Laser class in Atlanta in 1996.
He is now looking forward to competing, and adding to his tally, in London in 2012.
Team GB must now undoubtedly be top of the Sitting on your Backside Medal Table.
