Today's reading is officially in the green.
The match-up between long-time Olympic rivals Peter Burling and Nathan Outteridge in the Louis Vuitton challenger final was never going to register much on the niggle meter, because, annoyingly, they both seem to respect one another.
There were a few signs of tension there though, when, for the second day
in a row, Burling copped a few digs at his poor starts.
When the topic of pre-starts was brought up, Burling, who for the most part wears a look of bemused detachment during the press conferences, got slightly animated. For Burling that is.
Outteridge suggested Team NZ were running scared of Artemis during the pre-starts.
"It looked like Team NZ were really just trying to avoid us as much as they could ... they didn't leave much interaction," the Australian helmsman said.
"I guess you know when you're confident in the starts you're happy to take them on."
