Rsx has been replaced by iFoil for Paris 2024. It's the same class (windsurf) just a different sail provider (you know, technology changes, just like when Mistral was abandoned after 2004).

 

Other changes: 

 

-as you may already know Finn is out and will be replaced by a new mixed class (still TBD).

-470 Men and women are combined as mixed to make room for a mixed kitesurf event. 

-Everything else (lasers, 49ers, nacra) stays the same.

 

the change between Mistral and RS:X was more than just a different sail provider...ask those athletes with a bigger body shape who were heavily penalized by that change...

 

and this time it's gonna be a even bigger change...foiling is almost not sailing, it's more like flying above the surface...

 

look at Nacra 17...it took more than a year to the best crews in the old class to get back on top of the new foiling Nacra...and some of them have not learned how to manage the new features, meanwhile a few sailors that weren't that good with the old boats, now are always medal contenders...

 

it's gonna be the same in windsurfing...

 

 

p.s no comment on those fu**in' mixed sh*t (and the addition of kitesurfing, which, imho, is not sailing at all*)...:facepalm::wall:

*and it's an attempt to gift France a free Gold Medal...I hope that at least someone's going to spoil the home team party...:whistle:

It sounds a lot more fun than kitesurfing as freestyle even though

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By rafalgorka · Posted

      That was the same for me. And it's obviously too early, just for fun. Now it's more like predictions for 2024/2025 winter sports World Championships than 2026 olympics actually...   And still - it was done before 24/25 world cup events in some sports started (e.g. nordic combined, downhill and super-G in alpine, skicross etc...)   so it will have to be updated for sure...

      You don’t think  and  have high chances at a medal? Especially the German, who is ahead of the Slovak athlete in the rankings from last season.
