Ben Ainslie wins 15th gold for Team GB
TEAM GB's Ben Ainslie has won gold in the Finn class, making him the most successful sailor in Olympic history.
The 35-year-old replaced Denmark's legendary Paul Elvstrom as the Games' most decorated sailor after triumphing on home waters in front of thousands of supporters in Weymouth.
Ainslie faced fierce resistance throughout the week from Elvstrom's countryman Jonas Hogh-Christensen, although he managed to finish ahead of the Dane in this afternoon's medal race to increase his Olympic haul to four golds and a silver.
Speaking to BBC sport, Ben said: "It's times like this you are supposed to come out with something clever but I can't think of anything,"
"I am speechless. I am just so glad for everyone who has supported me over the last four years. It has been an amazing Olympics.
"This was one of the hardest courses I have raced on and I don't want to do anything like that again."
