By Sportsbeat staff, London 2012

BLIGHTY'S weather was under scrutiny again as lacklustre wind was blamed for halting Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell's medal race, as well as Saskia Clark and Hannah Mills'.

But with a bit of oomph, Weymouth has welcomed back the gusts and blustery waves once again and both boats will set sail for gold, Olympic not Aztec.

After setting the bar in the early rounds of the men's 10m synchronised dive - only to fall out of the medals with a tricky dive four - Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield begin their individual quest for success.
