With his Olympic windsurfing silver medal declared a "life-long dream", Grae Morris has revealed he was bred for Games glory.
The 20-year-old snared silver in high-velocity final in Marseille, which was Australia's first medal in the event since Lars Kleppich brought bronze home from Barcelona more than 30 years ago.
Competing in the new iQFOiL class, Morris was guaranteed a medal after topping the qualifying rankings and finished second in the three-man winner-take-all final.
