Day 21 -
August 8
In under an hours time Lake Macquarie sailors
Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen will sail their way to a gold medal in the
49er class at the Olympic Games.
The lead built up by the childhood friends from
Wangi Wangi is unassailable and avoiding the most disastrous day they merely
need to turn up to win.
They will earn Australia gold medal number five of
London 2012 and the Hunter its first.
Congratulations to the pair and here a few links to
some of their stories.
This picture is from Nathan's Twitter account and
was taken during race six of the Olympic regatta (relaxed and enjoying it all
much boys?).
The medal race starts at 1pm (10pm AEST).
Also in action Hunter wise today is Merewether's
Richie Campbell as the Sharks take on Serbia in the quater final of the men's
water polo competition.
The Aussies get underway at 3.30pm (12.30pm AEST).
