 Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes of Great Britain compete in the men's 49er Sailing on Day 6 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at Weymouth & Portland.

The pair endured a frustrating start to the regatta but are now beginning to show their true class, winning the first race of the day ahead of Finland's Lauri Lehtinen and Kalle Bask.

Australian leaders Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen could only place 10th and their bad day continued in the second race, where they finished sixth.

But there was no stopping Morrison and Rhodes as they overcame competition from Lehtinen and Bask to get another victory and move up to second in the overall standings.
