According to the Guardian, Ben Ainslie’s coach seems a little overconfident:
Stephen Park, the British sailing team manager, is unequivocal: "If it
is down to Ben Ainslie and Zach Railey or somebody else for the gold
medal then Ben will kill them. You could put your house on that. You
could put the nation’s houses on it."
OK, not quite as bad as the French swimmer’s "We will crush them.." diss before Phelps, Lezak and the crew won gold in the 4x100m relay but come one, Zach Railey deserves more respect than that.
