Sai: Blanck good for gold as Aussies have best day on water

Windsurfer SARAH BLANCK is looking good for gold and other crews clawed their way into
the top 10 as Australia's sailors had their best day of the Olympics so far.

Extra races were scheduled to make up for those lost due to strong winds earlier in
the week giving sailors little rest as the competition progresses.

More than halfway through the program, BLANCK is topping her class, five points clear
of nearest rival and double world champion SIREN SUNDBY of Norway.
