New Olympic events.

At what point do the sport reject the attempts by the IOC / WS to modify sailing itself to fit 'other' objectives .. you know the ones that follow the inevitable gravy train. 

If the Olympics are to be considered any sort of worthwhile pinnacle for sailing in the longer term should it not reflect sailing as more widely practiced by the hundreds of thousands or millions who actually make up the sport ??  .... maybe 'nice' to be involved but should it even be there ??

Many sports do not revere the Olympics to the same extent and yet still get by very well indeed - even if several have some sort of peripheral direct involvement in the 5-ringed circus.   

Increasingly sailing looks like a round peg being rammed into the square hole presented to it.  The sports disproportionate focus on just one pinnacle competition, partly out of control of the sport itself, is the problem and the challenge.  Fiddling about with classes, racing formats, the implicit fear of being 'dropped' etc etc are just the symptoms.
