Olympic Day 8 - Sailing - Malaysian Sailor Down Two Rungs In 39th Spot

BEIJING, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Kevin Lim dropped another two rungs to 39th place after the fourth race of the Olympics laser sailing event in Qingdao Friday.

Once again, low wind held up the competition which has fallen behind schedule.

"We were sitting in our boats for an hour today for the start before we were recalled," said Lim when contacted before the fourth race.

Lim, taking part in his fourth Olympics, is aiming for a top 20 finish among the 43 competitors.

The laser contest started Tuesday with two races planned daily but so far only four of eight races could be completed.
