Windsurfer Morris grabs first Aussie win in Marseille

Windsurfer Grae Morris has posted Australia's first race win at the Olympic sailing regatta, making amends for his calamitous start to the day at the Marseille Marina.

The 20-year-old Sydneysider failed to start the first race on Tuesday after missing the two-minute window following the starting signal, but he then enjoyed four top-10 finishes, capped by his victory in the fourth race.

"I put all my skills together and ended up winning a race, so it feels good to know that I have it there," said Morris, who ended up in seventh place after six races behind Dutch leader Luuc van Opzeeland.
