Murphy stays on course for medal after two more wins

After four races on Weymouth Bay, Annalise Murphy remains the only unbeaten sailor at the 2012 Olympic Regatta.

Ashore after two more wins in brisk conditions, Murphy admits that even she can scarcely believe how well her first ever Olympics are going, but she arrived ashore totally composed yesterday, allowing herself a wry smile or two and holding firm to her one race at a time, one day at a time mantra.

With her Laser Radial class racing first on the showcase Nothe course, the inshore arena where the ticketed spectator crowds included a vocal Irish support, Murphy avoided the occasional nasty snakes set up by the shifty wind and climbed the ladders, the beneficial changes, to lead at every turning mark of the first course to win by 30 seconds.
