Sai: Oil slick new worry for Olympic sailing organisers
An oil spill at the Beijing Olympics sailing venue in Qingdao is drifting out to sea
and away from competition courses.
Investigations are continuing today into the cause of the 200-metre long spill close
to the five sailing courses on Fushan Bay.
Regatta spokesman ZHAO JIAN says the slick drifted 30 nautical miles further out to
sea overnight and will disperse naturally.
But booms are in place to block any oil from entering the field of play.
