Originally posted by JimC I dunno, I've never understood that the 'oi polloi have any trouble in understanding why the football league winners don't necessarilly win the last match of the season or can have the title sewn up before they get there...

People seem to cope with F1 where the championship can be won (even with the score change to 25 for a win) before the final race.

You can't say the Best Man won the Finns at Weymouth, Ben love him as we all do was well off form and the outcome and behind the scene rumours were that at best he was lucky and worse the victory contrived with a bit of team (from a friend) sailing gave it to him.
You could also argue precisely because the format is as it is he knew he didn't necessarily have to try too hard early on whereas the Dane went hard for it in every race.

So the format doesn't really work for either us or the ill informed public who had watched that Dane wind hands down earlier and it was noted, the lack of film evidence of the front end in the closing stages of the medal race with all the focus being at the back, anyway it is what it is these days, personally I don't think it serves sailing at all despite the fact we came out with a medal and some mejia fest.
