I got to see the videot before it was pulled down, it was a voice over of the Olympic Dingy race... well the start of the race which is funny in it's self.
Funny video, the IOC are a bunch of bullies to be pulling things like this off the web. It was quite obviously a spoof! Get over yourselves!

omg hilarious and absolutely true

. . . .and now the boats are going to the finish line they are neck and neck, there's only 5 seconds until the end of the race they have to finish, and nobody was able to cross, nobody won, and the race is over. Oh wait, that's the start of the race.

Saw her 3rd and 4th races. Murphy smoked the fleet. Kind of surprised when she came in 4th for the regatta. Bumber. The reason I had to find out that she came in forth through the scores. Fricking NBC's web app only had one class a day on. They didn't even show the race going on in between the one they where showing. No commentary... that was a blessing. If kiteracing can get sailing a decent video feed that would be great. Almost anything will be an improvement. The wind at Wainmoth has been great though.
