With the Rio Olympic Games fast approaching (the Olympic regatta takes place from August 5-19, 2016, read our piece on the event here), the British Olympic Sailing Team are busy making their final preparations... This amusing video features some impressive highlights, including Bryony Shaw windsurfing in a ball dress, Nick Thompson performing jumps on a jetski and Luke Patience and Chris Grube causing mischief. It's a lighthearted look at the characters that make up the British Olympic Sailing Team for 2016, that's definitely worth a look.
