I have a number of friends who are sailing in different events:
Anna Tunnicliffe in Laser Radials

Sally Barkow, Carrie Howe, and Debbie Capozi in Women's Keel Boat (Ynglings)

And Johnny Lovell and Charlie Ogletree in Men's multi hull (Tornados)

I have sailed agains those gals for a number of years, and they are all awesome. (I also know some women who are sailing for other countries, but I can hardly cheer for them!!
)
I have been sailing with Johnny's wife for many years, and have been through the last two Olympics with them. They are some of my dearest friends!!! He won a silver medal in Athens. This will be his fourth (and last!!) Olympics. I am really hoping that he and Charlie can do as well as last time!!!
