she is now the most successful female sailor in games history. her and eilidh mcintyre only needed to finish seventh in the 470 medal race. they had to fight hard in that race but it is gold for great britain. fifth was enough. for mcintyre, she emulates dad mike, who won gold in seoul in 1988. if britain rules the waves, cuba are kings of the ring, which meant bad news for ben whittaker. he was guaranteed a medal but had a puncher s chance against arlen lopez, already an olympic champion from 2016. in the end, the hardest of hits were delivered by the cuban, leaving a gutted whittaker with silver. well earlier frazer clarke added another medal in the boxing with bronze in the super heavyweight. he lost his semifinal match after the referee stopped the fight because a deep cut above frazer s eye opened up again by his opponent, the uzbekistan six foot eight giant.
