There seem to be about 9 dozen nearly identical swimming events, and as often as not the same bloke/girl wins about half of them, not to mention similar athletic events, so I don't really see that Joe Public thinks its odd. Javelin, shot, discus, they're all just about big people with plenty of steroid jabs throwing things aren't they... |

Stupid decision.
Women Keelboat Team Racing .. Sounds REALLY exciting. Joe public will need his rulebook out if he fancies watching the sailing now. How will they explain all the rules so that people can understand how X team managed to beat Y team without finishing first in the race? Stick to the nice easy format of " Sail round this course a few times, first one to cross the line wins." |

MATCH racing. Fairly simple to understand. 2 boats. A winner and a loser. |

The IOC still need to ratify the choices don't they? Can we not lobby the IOC to ignore the ISAFs decisions?

having never sailed a high perfomance cat ever, i think they look spectacular and great fun. loads of spray and they look high tech. even the average person will be able to see this and will be impressed. this should increase the numbers of new sailors hopefully. how can it be a fair representation of the sport if a discipline is not included. its like having an olympics without the 100m sprint. what exactly is the problem with having 11 disciplines? tom |

Ah yes, Sorry Scum.
Surley we have to put up with enough of that rubbish with the ACC .. Why impose it onto the Olympics? Seems a stupid thing to do to have to hold hundreds of smaller races to get each country to have raced eachother doesnt it? Fewwer starts and everything settled on time vs probably about 100 starts JUST for the Match Racing over the course of the Olympics? Trying to keep it nice and simple I see. |

Based on how they used to do it in the Solings, fleet racing to decided who goes forward into the match racing part of the event.

Aha.
Any idea what classes they will be using? Still one of the oldschool classes? ( Star / Yngling ) or will they be holding " Match Racing Keelboat" trials next? |
