Subject: First thoughts about countries
It was the 49'ers in 2008:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-08/18/content_9480185.htm
"The Danish team were protested by the Race Committee for sailing the medal race in a boat borrowed from the Croat crew, who were not competing in the medal race, after the mast on the Danish 49er snapped shortly before the start, according to the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
[...]
"We're happy about how it turned out. Our mast broke 20 minutes before the competition and we thought we weren't going to make it. We were lucky in that we borrowed the Croatian's boat and got to the start line five seconds before the horn," said Jonas Warrer."
Yep, I know.
Pavle Kostov & Petar Cupać are the guys that gave their boat. I know Cupać, from sailing
