Britain's Ainslie wins Finn sailing gold
August 17, 2008 4:43 AM

QINGDAO, China
Britain's Ben Ainslie has won his third straight Olympic sailing gold with a commanding win in the final medal race for Finn class sailors.



American Zach Railey took the silver Sunday during his games debut, while Guillaume Florent of France won the bronze.

Ainslie, 31, was guaranteed at least silver on overall points heading into the medal race, and only the 24-year-old Railey could have threatened his gold. Ainslie has previous golds from 2004 and 2000, as well as a silver from 1996, and came on strong in the medal final, which counts double.

The British sailor led all the way, while Railey was sixth in the 10-boat fleet, securing enough points to clutch his silver. Florent finished fourth in the final to take the bronze.
