Troops and contractors ride past me on bikes, and I see people playing tennis and windsurfing in the late afternoon sun.

The 25-year-old was guaranteed a windsurfing medal after dominating the opening series off the Marseille coast.

There was also bronze for Emma Wilson in the windsurfing, though she was left disappointed by her performance in the delayed final.

You can hire top-flight trainers, buy yourself a Peloton or a Tonal smart gym, and then splurge on bikes, kayaks and windsurfing gear.
