Ben Ainslie still confident of gold
Ben Ainslie remains confident of securing a fourth sailing gold medal despite faltering again on a day when the team were hit by news that Paul Goodison's regatta could be in jeopardy.
Ainslie has yet to overcome Jonas Hogh-Christensen in the Finn class, and after six races the Dane leads second-placed Ainslie by 10 points.
Ainslie said: "He is certainly having the regatta of his life at the moment so all credit to him.
"All I can do is the best I can right now and hope that if I keep pushing hard, he might slip up along the way."
Ainslie's fellow gold medallist Goodison was 16th and then second in today's two Laser races, but the Yorkshireman is struggling with a back injury.
Asked if he was worried his regatta was in danger, he said: "Yeah, for sure. I am worried my body is in a lot of trouble and until that is fixed you can't fire on all cylinders."
There was better news for the only other returning British sailing champions from Beijing, Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson, who sit four points clear of nearest rivals Brazil after winning one of their two races today.
Olympic debutant Ali Young secured two second-place finishes in the ongoing Laser Radial class, while Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes were third and then 18th, after capsizing, in their 49ers races.
Bradley Wiggins' Team GB kit is stolen
Tour de France winner and Olympics medal hopeful Bradley Wiggins has had his official training kit stolen from the Team GB cycling team hotel.
The kit apparently went missing while the 32-year-old was using the gym and spa at the Foxhills hotel in Ottershaw, Surrey, on Sunday.
The theft happened a day after he took part in the Olympics men's road race event.
Wiggins, who will take part in the Olympics cycling time trials event at Hampton Court on Wednesday, wrote in a message on Sunday: "Watch your kit at the Foxhills spa... There is a tea leaf about."
A spokesman for Foxhills told the BBC: "Upon returning back to the locker room, it seems that cycling fever has well and truly hit the Surrey club as the Official Team GB training lycra were nowhere to be seen.
"It seems an over-zealous fan has scored a fantastic London 2012 souvenir."
