Very picky on Luke but they gave the Filipino full credit for a double pike that was in no way shape of form a double pike lol

Peaty sounds like he is going to announce his retirement soon.

Emma Wilson:

"I think it's obvious I'm at a disadvantage, and I think they [sailing officials] should think about it, and think about people's mental health as well," Wilson said after the event.

"It's not OK to put people in this position every time. I had a 60-point lead at the World Championships and a 30-point lead here.

"I don't know how many times you can come back. I think I'm done with the sport."

"I just made a mistake on the lay line," added Wilson, referring to the calculation required to reach the next mark, or buoy, in the quickest time.

"I hadn't done a race yet and all these girls knew where the lay line was.

"I'm really happy for her [Maggetti] but I'm just not sure I can keep putting myself through that format."

 

Not a good look for a sport for a top competitor to feel this way.

It sounds like she has a mental block about a medal race.
