Patience paying off for Britain

Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell will race against Australia for the gold medal
Great Britain's sailors Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell are mathematically assured of at least a silver medal in the men's 470 class at London 2012.
The pair have amassed a large enough points margin after Tuesday's first race to be sure that the third-placed crew - currently Argentina - cannot catch them.
Patience and Bithell now face a straight fight with Australia's world champions Mat Belcher and Malcolm Page for gold.
There is one more fleet race, before the medal race on Thursday.
