Goodison Makes It Five In A Row

Paul Goodison wins fifth straight European Laser title ...

Paul Goodison staked a confident claim ahead of this month's Laser World Championship by clinching his fifth straight European title in Sweden at the weekend.

Bouncing back from a disappointing first race disqualification for a premature start, Paul showed his class in claiming overall victory by a comfortable margin;

"I was pretty annoyed after the first day here when I was black flagged in the first race and then dropped from fourth to eighth in the second race. I gave myself a kick up the backside and refocused and managed to sail pretty well for the rest of the week to get a good lead heading into the last day today"

"I didn't sail particularly well today, but I'm pretty chuffed and it's great to be European Champion again."

Securing the European title has extended Paul's unbeaten run on the international circuit since taking gold at the Beijing Olympics a year ago and he is now hopeful this winning streak will continue to the World's;

"Since coming back from the Games, the World's has been the one win I've really wanted and the whole year has been geared towards preparing for that...Although I can't go there thinking that the title's mine, I'm pretty happy with the way I'm sailing so there's no reason not to be confident of doing well there."

From all at MTC, Congratulations
