Congrats Paul and Audrey! Give her a big hug. It was worth all that effort wasn't it?

Hi! there, Denis, Jump on your board and hug her yourself.  So now, Audrey has beaten 3 World Champions in a regatta, since she started in 2008. Thanks!! Paul Yong |

Great to know she managed to win the bronze after I had watched her yesterday races which she dropped to 5th overall.
The local windsurfers will be happy that she brought the only medal back from sailing regatta n more focus will be on windsurfing than before.
I spoke to Ben Tan, spore sailing new president, last nite n he is encouraged about Audrey's results n the sport on the whole.
Equal or more focu$ will be on the sport now.

Thanks! Meng,
If Singapore Sailing will ensure the windsurfers develop properly in accordance with International standards, instead of accelerated training like the YOG2010 squad then we'll do well in future.
As it is, we don't even follow the rules in junior windsurfing.
Regards
Paul Yong

I was out watching the medal race and could see Audrey pull ahead of the Thai girl on the last lap. It was an excellent result and many congratulations to her. It involved hard work, dedication and the result was well deserved.
Next step the Olympics, hopefully by then they would have replaced that RSX class with something more appropriate and not just a class to swell the pockets of NP
Congratulations as well to the Great Britain sailor that won the medal race and also took a bronze

What do you mean by that, Paul? |

I'm sure that if the Thai girl had gone all out she would have come in first again. But she sailed a correct tactical race. Avoid fighting it out with the leading group in order not to foul anyone and yet stay well up front in order not to lose too many points. A DSQ in this final race would have been disastrous. Hats off to her and her coach (Bo?)

"What do you mean"
Hi! there, Denis,
Exactly as stated.
No need to read between the lines, and there's no fine print.

Paul,
You've completely lost me. I can't think of what "rules" you may be referring to.
