Friends, family the biggest fans

QINGDAO: As it heads into more medal races, the Olympic Sailing Regatta is drawing even wider attention with spectators lining the sailing venue. The keenest are probably families and friends of athletes.

Cynthia Goodison arrived on the spectator breakwater half an hour before the first round of the men's Laser-class race started on August 12.

She was there to cheer her son Paul Goodison, a medal favorite from the United Kingdom.
