not quite finished yet, there is still a double points medal race to decide who will win silver and bronze as gold is pretty well wrapped by the Chinese girl. Only 8 points seperate 2nd to 4th so they are all in with a chance.

Crunch day as windsurfers contest medals - au.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news/article/-/4935773/crunch-day-windsurfers-contest-medals
!GO JESS GO! ![]()
Looks like it going to be a challenging day for Jess,
Check out website below, hold mouse over "buoy a"http://afqx.qingdao.gov.cn/english/index.aspx
forecast for tomorrow looks a lot better (17knots), if there isn't enough wind for their scheduled start, maybe they'll have to postpone racing until tomorrow! It'll be great to see RSX finish the Olympics with a big (planing) Slalom race.
Go Crispy!!!!!
After having sailed with her and watched her race years ago I know one thing, she DOES NOT give up.[}:)]
Heartache for veteran windsurfer Crisp
Posted 1 hour 20 minutes ago

Australian sailor Jessica Crisp has missed out on a medal in the women's windsurfing class at the Beijing Olympics.
The 39-year-old came last in this afternoon's medal race at Qingdao to finish in equal fourth place overall.
Crisp sailed at her first Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984 when she was 14, but has already ruled out competing in London in 2012.
Meanwhile, Australians Darren Bundock and Glenn Ashby have given up the gold medal position in the men's tornado class.
The Australians finished eighth, seventh and fourth in today's races.
They will head into tomorrow's medal race in second place, three points behind Spain.

A great effort nevertheless.
Bad luck Jess, last (10th) with double points ( 20 ),her worst race and you cant drop the medal race.
