Play it again, Sam Wong

A FALSE start cost Hong Kong sailor Sam Wong Tak-sum the lead after being disqualified in the second race of the Mobil Hong Kong Windsurfing Championships off Cheung Chau yesterday.

Wong was second behind Japan's Mikiniro Miyamo in the race but the result was not counted and he had to be content with third place overall with wins in the first and third races of the day.

Leading the field is China's Shi Cong who posted third, second and third place finishes while Miyamo is second.

Hong Kong's Lee Lai-shan heads the women's field from Dutch girl Dorien de Vries and China's Yin Changjun.
