During the fifth race of the 1988 Summer Olympic sailing Finn event near Busan, Canada's Lawrence Lemieux was in second place when he noticed Joseph Chan of Singapore in the water 25 yd (23 m) from his capsized boat.[4] Lemieux abandoned his position and rescued Chan and Chan's Singapore teammate.[4][5] Even though Lemieux finished last in the race, the IOC gave him second place for the race as a result of Lemieux's heroic efforts.[6][7] Lemieux would be awarded the IOC Pierre de Coubertin medal at the Finn medal awards ceremony by President Juan Antonio Samaranch.[5]

The

men's windsurfer event, American Mike Gebhardt got a plastic bag caught on his boardsail in the last lap of the seventh race.[8] Six boardsailers passed Gebhardt before he could dislodge the plastic bag.[8] Gebhardt lost out a gold by 0.4 points over France's Franck David.[8][9]
