Whatever happened to sports have a demonstration Olympics before they joined as full events? Does that still happen? |

Why does 'sailing' need a demonstration event? If kitesurfing wants to coat-tail a meal ticket off the back of ISAF, best make sure they're fully aware of quite how political ISAF is and that actually, no surprise really, they're not going to worry too much about cutting it if there's enough lobby. The IKA needed to approach the IOC directly imho, otherwise face the same bullsh*t windsurfing's gone through trying to make it a dinghy racing alternative, rather than a sport in its own right.

The ISAF AGM is still not the final word on any changes of the Olympic Events. The IOC Program Commission must still confirm all Event changes and Rio 2016 has influence on that decision... and then the IOC Members must confirm the final decisions.
The Program Commission has rejected other International Sport proposals previously, but never any of ISAF's recommendations. The final decision deadline is three years before the Olympic Games - September 2013. |

cheers for the clarity Jon
I guess the IKA could challenge and lobby directly to the IOC, but they're probably playing the diplomacy card and dodging a bullet with the light wind outlook for Rio.

well they certainly make more of it than it actually is... but of course I'm coming from the veiwpoint of a western windsurfer with a planing only, no racing thanks attitude. Personally I'd rather watch/race lasers in that lightwind... but wtf do I know???
