Cardiff sailor Hannah Mills will be hoping rivals New Zealand again slip up in the medal race finale of the 470 class Olympic sailing regatta in Weymouth.

Mills and partner Saskia Clarke go into the final of the 11 race series tied for the lead after they finished ahead of their rivals in Wednesday's round 10.

The Kiwi crew had a disastrous day finishing way down the fleet in 18th position to give Mills and Clarke the upper hand.

In finishing second in race 10 the British crew guaranteed themselves a minimum of a bronze medal, but with just one race left it is gold that is in their sites.

There could also be more medal joy for boxer Fred Evans when he fights in the Welterweight boxing semi-final against Ukraine's Taras Shelestyuk.

Evans, who's from Newport and learnt his trade at the city's St Joseph's Club has already guaranteed himself a minimum of a bronze after his quarter final win Canadian Custio Clayton.

There could also be bronze for Merthyr Tydfil hockey player Sarah Thomas who will line-up for Great Britain against New Zeland in the third place playoff.

Thomas and her teammates missed out in a place in the final of the competition after they when out to Argentina on Wednesday.
