Rsx has been replaced by iFoil for Paris 2024.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:

I could almost understand kitesurfing being added if it was a freestyle event. Kitesurfing racing is... wtf? Why?

      Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.

      Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota

      Thats good, but I think Galica should take some rest because of his age and Suchodolski could be replaced by Skorusa for example to give him any chance to show in World Cup
