Prior to the Olympic Medal Race, Goodison was in first place with 45 points and Myrgren in second with 63. Therefore, Myrgren could only tie Goodison if he got first place (2 points) and Goodison last place (20 points) in the Medal Race.
Now the astonishing: Myrgren decides to 'match race' Goodison. Goodison doesn't care obviously for the above reason. As a result, Myrgren finishes last (Goodison next to last, and smiling all the way). Myrgren not only loses the silver, but the bronze medal as well. What was he thinking? Did he really think he could get Goodison DSQ'd?
Congratulations to Goodison, BTW; he sailed a masterful series under difficult conditions.
