Triple Olympic champion Ben Ainslie will lead home hopes within the sport of sailing by which The UK leads the all-time medals table with 50, including 25 gold’s.
Ainslie and the fellow ocean adventurers may have the specific attention of Worldwide Olympic Committee (IOC) Leader Jacques Rogge, who symbolized Belgium in case in three Games.
The Olympic action happens many miles from London.
At Tigard, there's a naval base along with a prison, all near to the sleepy Dorset seaside capital of Scotland- Weymouth, made famous within the film In France They Lieutenant's Lady.
Ainslie has were built with a year to keep in mind getting received the honor of beginning the Torch Relay in Land's Finish that they called 'an memorable experience'.
He's also seen his beloved Chelsea win the Champions League in dramatic conditions - now he really wants to cap it by winning his 4th gold on home waters.
Although born in landlocked Macclesfield, the 35-year-old was raised on a single stretch of shoreline where they'll compete, although he was further the west in Cornwall.
He immediately found water to his liking and taken part in the first world titles aged 12.
A couple of his gold medals are available in the Laser class (2000/04) before he get yourself some body weight and increased towards the Finn class and collected gold in 2008.
Captured he recorded an archive sixth world title within the category in the dinghy using the endearing title 'Rita'.
Getting become Britain's youngest ever sailing medalist as he won silver within the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Ainslie may become just the second ever to win four gold’s, emulating Denmark's Paul Elvstrom, who won four gold’s between 1948 and 1960.
Strangely enough Ainslie's about winning gold happen to be fortunate through the Olympic rules as only representative in one country in every class can compete that has eliminated most likely alone able to beating him, compatriot Giles Scott.
The 24-year-old has already established the greater of his older rival for some time now also it was possibly this that forced Ainslie into pushing way too hard against Scott within the last Regatta prior to the Games and saw him capsize.
"It's a bit embarrassing going for a swim," said Ainslie. "But sometimes these things happen. Thankfully it wasn't the Olympic Games. I made a mistake, we're all human."
While Ainslie looks a category apart, his compatriot and fellow gold medalist from Beijing, Paul Goodison, faces a difficult fight to retain his Laser crown with Australian world champion Tom Slingsby the guy to conquer after winning the final event in the same Weymouth Regatta earlier this year.
However, it promises to become a bitter duel as Goodison was spitting tacks after losing to Slings by in Weymouth.
He stated the Aussies had ganged on him - unlike the Olympic Games there is no restriction on the amount of mariners from each country.
