'But along with the rest of the BRazilian delegation, he failed to win the medal and, after an amazing and controversial battle with Ben Ainslie, from Great Britain, he took home the Silver Medal.' What does this mean?? Boatman 07:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC) reply
He tricked Ainslie into disqualification.

Ainslie won gold by marking Scheidt in the final race and keeping him last (for most of the race). However, Scheidt had done the same thing in Atlanta, so this article is biased by mentioning one and not the other. Salopian ( talk) 15:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC) reply
