Olympics the target

articlemain

Nimrod Mashiah still fears for his place at the London Olympics- despite winning bronze at the World Windsurfing Championship in Perth.

Mashiah led for most of the tournament but only just managed to pick up a place on the podium.

But despite gaining a third straight top-three finish, Mashiah is still wary of being beaten to a place in the Israeli Olympic team by rival Shahar Zuberi.

"I won bronze and that's great, but there is a feeling of disappointment and that I should have done much better and won gold," he said.

"Shahar is a great competitor and sportsman. If I take my foot off the gas for one moment, he'll overtake me."
