machine returns jubilant from 4.7 worlds championship

7.50
singapore

colin cheng aka machine has returned back on to home soil, lugging back an illustrious win in his name. The young machine sailed into victory in the 4.7 european and worlds championship after a series of 11 races.

Finishing with 39 points and 20 points way ahead of second place victor serezhkin of russia, colin could have afforded yellow flags and long hours in a protest room for having mechanical parts with out losing his podium position.

Apparently, the race leaders lost their nerves in the last few races, where as, colin, not having any nerves to start with, held on to his lead and finished a decisive 1st to claim victory in the prestigious regatta.

We will be seeing more amazing feats from this young machine in years to come. Says ACYC president gregory ho,

'This is an atonement from his previous encounter with 3 yellow flags in doha. He was wasting tax payers money there. but now, seems like singapore has something better to say about this young machine'

To end this speculation of costly mistakes, colin has indeed made up for them in this regatta. However, he is more willing to spend some time back in singapore before telling the world about his achievement.

'i am very happy with this now, but.. we'll talk more about it later. Now's a time for soccer (world cup finals)'

We expect this young man to do great things.
