Olivia Price – AUS – Match Race: Were really excited to win here of course, it’s always good to get a win but to have it here at the Olympic venue is really special. We had a really long day, we started at 8am and had to get through quarter finals, semi-finals and finals and finally got off the water at 2.30/3pm so it was obviously a long day but we really enjoyed it.
Being part of the Olympic team is like being part of a family, it’s really nice having everyone down on the dock to see us and cheer when we come in, we all do it for one another, there’s a lot of team spirit it’s something we’ve been building up for over the last few years and a really positive team. Nina Curtis – AUS – Match Race: Everyone’s starting to show what they are capable of now, the pressure is defiantly building, we are just taking one step at a time and this is a good step for us in the right directions. It’s shown to the fleet that we mean business and it’s good to have this one on the board. more >> 5 Jun - OLYMPIC SAILORS START WELL AT WEYMOUTH
