    the line is there but electronically so it doesn't have to be a visible line. the line which i refer to crosses the water between two electronic sensors and as such the boat has to
    cross that Line between the two points to generate a sound which indicates the boat has crossed a line to win. so, in essence the two electronic points are joined across the
    water by an infrared line which when broken, sets off a sound.

    Team GB are still the cricket gold medallists / Olympic champions.

    Cricket was an event in 1900, when we won, and not since!

    Woo!

    It doesnt have a finishing line though

    It has finishing touch pads - oh and if someone argues it is a line you cross it when you dive in and also when you get out :)
