BEIJING, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Kevin Lim finished 22nd in race five of the Olympics laser sailing event in Qingdao to improve his overall position to 35th, two better from overnight, as the competition reached its halfway point Saturday.
"We had a long day out for seven hours but only one race was held. We were ready for the next but somehow the race committee didn't call for the start and we came back after three to four hours of waiting," said Lim when contacted.
The competition with 43 sailors was to have finished all 10 races today before the medal round but low winds have scuttled the schedule.
Lim who had aimed to finish in the top 20 has also scaled back on his hopes.
"I pushed too hard in the first few races and took too many risks. Now I will just sail my usual and see how best it will take me," said Lim, who is at his fourth Olympics.
