One metre. That's all that separated Dylan Fletcher and Stu Bithell from silver at the Tokyo Olympics, where they beat Pete Burling and Blair Tuke, the nailed-on favourites for gold. That single moment changed everything. Two years later, Dylan is no longer the unknown 49er sailor stepping onto an F50 for the first time. He's in the same conversation as Slingsby, Outteridge, and Burling - the elite generation of world-class sailors the sport has arguably ever seen. Freddie Carr and Andy Rice break down the journey from virtual unknown to reigning SailGP champion, and why that one metre in Tokyo started it all.
