Following Monday’s announcement of the final seven members of Australia’s sailing team for the London 2012 Olympic Games video interviews with the selected athletes are now available online.
 
470 women’s crew Elise Rechichi and Belinda Stowell, Finn sailor Brendan Casey, Laser Radial representative Krystal Weir and Women’s Match Racing trio Olivia Price, Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty all sat down to talk about their selection prior to the start of racing at the 2012 Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta in Weymouth.
 
The seven sailors are currently competing at round six of the ISAF Sailing World Cup, the final regatta in Weymouth before the London 2012 Olympic games.
