British sailor Paul Goodison finishes 7th
Sailor Paul Goodison, who is part of Team Great Britain, was "reasonably happy" after he came in seventh place in the 2008 World Laser Championships off the coast of Australia.
Paul Goodison, 30, had not long made a comeback to sailing after having a screw put into in a broken wrist.
Paul Goodison said: "It was quite good, with long races of about 1 hour, 20 minutes as opposed to the normal 60 or so minutes. I was happy to compete in races of that length when I'd been sat on my backside for two-and-a-half months."
Paul Goodison had won his comeback regatta at Sail Melbourne last month, but now he says that he is aiming to building up his fitness in readiness for the Olympics.
Paul Goodison also said: "The Sail Melbourne result was a bit lucky if I'm honest; the races were only 50 minutes long and at the end of each one I was so out of breath. I could hardly walk at the end of the day."
