    Sailing is on BBC 3 now. Strangely not on RTE.

    Edit: Now they've switched to another race.

    She's 1 point behind the Dutch and Chinese and 1 ahead of the German. Could win gold, could win nothing.

    1. NED 33
    2. CHN 33
    3. IRL 34
    4. BEL 34

    It's going to be some medal race on Monday. Let's hope she can hold onto 3rd at least!

    serena williams beats sharapova 6-0 6-1

    what a procession of an event, she dropped just 17 games during the whole olympics

    when gilles simon, the french player raised the issue of pay at wimbledon just a few weeks ago, it was sharapova who responded with "well more people would pay to watch my games than his"

    ...not if they are such one-sided contests like that maria they wouldn't

    a sports pyschologist would tell you that's completely the wrong attitude

    let's hope she wins the race and wins the gold - that should be the only thing on her mind, she won the first four races, why not this one?

    That's a Belgian flag, not a German one.

    Bottom line: the three medals are between the first four sailors. No one else can medal.

    Am I right in thinking the medal race is worth double points, so finishing 1st or even ahead of her main competitors would be enough for gold?

    Yes. That's it in a nutshell. No one else can win a medal, so ONLY the finishing positions relative to each other matter now!

    All or nothing (or something :D).

    Go Annalise!

    Well I don't think she'll be checking boards to see what to aim for. Fact is she's on the slide and hanging on.

    Yes, and as GB are 5th on 52 points its a case of the finishing order of the top 4 on Monday will decide where each finishes.

    yes it's double points, if my maths are correct she has to finish ahead one of NED, CHN or BEL to guarantee a medal

    I'd imagine they'll have to.

    You have to remember that medal races are designed to be shown on television.

    lithuania hanging on to usa in the basketball with three quarters gone, could be the upset of the tournament, lads the baltic nation need your support, tune in for the fourth quarter and cheer them to the greatest upset in olympic history - tell your friends you were there (don't mention the online part)
