A Weighting Game as Patience-Bithell take separate roads to Rio - British Sailing Team

Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell, the dynamic sailing duo who claimed silver in 470 class at the 2012 Olympic Games, are to go their separate ways in their quest for Olympic gold in Rio Scotsman Patience, and Bithell, from Rochdale, earned the smiles of the nation this summer with their elated celebrations on winning silver at their first Olympic Games on the waters of Weymouth and Portland. But it's the good friends' determination not to settle for anything less than the top step of the podium in four years' time which has led them to make the decision to part company for the 2016 cycle.
