Jessica goes for third Olympics
- Michael McGrath 31/07/2007
Okay, so I don't publish a magazine anymore, but I'm
pretty excited about our Olympians, especially Jessica
Crisp getting up again for the Beijing Olympics. Michael
Lancey is a bright young talent who needs a few good
regattas under his belt, but he has the right attitude.
This may not be the sexiest end of windsurfing, but
these two deserve the windsurfing community of Australia
to get behind them.
