Sailors to slug it out

QINGDAO: According to the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), 400 competitors from 62 nations and regions will compete for medals in 11 competitions in Qingdao.

Therefore, the 2008 Olympic sailing competitions are described as a struggle among bests, with each nation getting just one entry to each event.

Sailing competitions are unpredictable thanks to the changeable weather, leaving more room for people to speculate on the possible results.
