And it going to be an olympic event in 2024 ... I really hope it won't... c'mon! look at the number of countries involved in that (I'm not even making a question of being a 2-way show at the top of the rankings, but just there are not enough Nations at the start to earn it the Olympic status)...

LDOG 2,181 Posted August 12, 2018 #274 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Is kiteboard finished? Time for the musical chairs in Nacra now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,535 Posted August 12, 2018 #275 Share Posted August 12, 2018 not so much fun with the men and women's RS:X medal races, as they both were already decided before the start (there was only little battle for silver and bronze) and the poor wind didn't help the show... but now it's time for the grand finale, the most spectacular class (and the closest in terms of ranking, with 3 crews in 3 points before the MR and 6 still theorically in contention -even if only 4 have a real chance to end up on top)... Nacra 17 Foiling medal race comin'up... c'mon, guys! give us some satisfaction in the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,535 Posted August 12, 2018 #278 Share Posted August 12, 2018 at least in the women's event there were some more competitive Nations than the men, where the top 8 kiteboarders in the final rankings are all from France or Great Britain (the Russian Denis Taradin, 9th at the end, has been the best outside those 2 Countries)...

But then again, women's competition had a grand total of 7 competitors. And 4 additional guests who elected not to even start in more than a few races. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
