Paul Goodison made up for his Athens heartbreak by winning sailing’s Laser class on Tuesday for Great Britain’s 13th gold of the Beijing Games.
Goodison, fourth in 2004, led going into the medal race and held on to top spot by finishing ahead of Sweden’s Rasmus Myrgren, his nearest rival.
Slovenia’s Vasilij Zbogar took silver while Italy’s Diego Romero was third.
“It just feels unbelievable. It’s going to take a while to sink in but wow,” said 30-year-old Goodison.
