DAY 6 HIGHLIGHT
World champion Tom Slingsby stayed cool under pressure at the Laser World Championship grabbing two wins to snatch the lead back from Julio Alsogaray from Argentina this afternoon.
Alsogaray finished sixth and ninth in the Toro sponsored Finals Races 9 and 10 off Terrigal in what in turning into a real pot boiler. Slingsby, on 27 points, leads the Championship by a mere two points.
Tonight, whilst Slingsby is training down and eating in preparation for an early night, he will miss the NSW Sports Star of the Year Awards in which he is a finalist - only rarely are sailors given this honour.
Javier Fernandez (ESP) finished 11th in Race 10 to hold on to third place overall in the Gold fleet and is 11 points adrift of Slingsby with two race drops in place. Vaslilij Zbogar (SLO) has quietly made his way to the top of the board for fourth overall following credible fourth and eighth places today.
In a see-sawing game for the Kiwis, Michael Bullot is the lead one tonight, in fifth place on 51 points. As countryman David Weaver pointed out: "Yes, we keep changing places between Mike, Andrew (Murdoch) and me; it's that sort of regatta. Very tricky every day, anything can happen - and does!"
