A piece of 2012 Olympic sailing vision with an Irish commentary, on an international video site has become the hit of the Games amongst the sailing media contingent. This is the must watch!!

The fact that this piece is still on line shows the IOC and the moving pictures rights holders has a sense of humour too. Well done guys.

One warning, do not watch this with hot liquid in hand!!
