Opening shot: last race of the 2004 Olympic Regatta in Athens, Greece GOLD – Ben Ainslie (GBR) After a shocking start with a DSQ on day one, Ben channelled his frustration and found his pace to post a devastating score line that left his fellow competitors agape in wonder. A string of fours wins, two seconds, a third and a fourth catapulted him into the Gold Medal position, which he managed to keep hold of in the scrappy last race. As with Iain Percy four years earlier Ben was coached by David Howlett. SILVER – Rafael Trujillo (ESP) A solid performance from Rafa saw him as one of the few consistent sailors in Athens with a string of top five positions. He moved into the silver medal position after day two, and he never let go despite collecting an OCS. Keeping his famous cool temperament in the tense final race, Rafa surprised himself as much as anyone by winning the Silver medal. BRONZE – Mateusz Kusznierewicz (POL) After the disappointment of fourth place in Sydney, Mateusz’s joy at winning the Bronze was there for all to see. Leading for the first few days, an 11th-OCS-17th dropped him down to 6th, but he fought back like the champion he is to win two more races, including the final deciding race to claim his second Olympic Finn medal.
