Rio Olympics Countdown: Giles Scott Wins Fourth World Championship Title In Sailing Ahead of Rio Games

The Great Giles Scott won his fourth World Championship title in the Finn class to become the second most successful sailor in the competition's history, behind fellow Briton Ben Ainslie. Scott, 28, finished 38th in the opening race but won three of the following six to take gold for the fourth time in six years. He said: "We came here not to test anything but to perform well, and to be able to do that sends a bit of a message out."
