I know they have cleared it up but I loved this quote from the Mighty Ben Ainslie
"It looked like the green slime out of the Ghostbusters film and if you
attempted to sail through it, it would have been like running the 100m
with potholes all along the track."
Britain’s Olympic sailing hope Ben Ainslie knew who to call when mysterious slime covered the sailing course in Beijing.
To quote from other movies:
“I’ll be Back…” and
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…”

I have a plan for how to take advantage of the green slime. Any Olympic coach who wants my plan on how to use the slime to win a gold medal, please send $10,000 and a stamped self-addressed envelope to Tillerman, PO Box 28,Rhode Island, USA and I will send you the details.
