Sai: Aussies make little impact as gold goes to Greece

Australia's Europe-class sailor SARAH BLANCK has slipped out of the top three but remains
a strong medal chance with one race to sail at the Athens Olympics.

BLANCK, who earlier in the week was leading the class, slipped to fourth place today
but could still clinch silver or bronze with a top finish on Sunday.

She is three points behind Denmark's SIGNE LIVBJERG sitting in third, and could gain
enough ground to win silver, although gold is unlikely with Norwegian double world champion
SIREN SUNDBY holding a 20 point lead.
