I just noticed that six sailors have already been selected to the Australian Olympic team for Rio 2016. How will the nation choose its sailors for the rest of the classes? Kindly explain.

South Korea has already qualified in the men's RS:X through the 2015 Worlds. Thailand and Indonesia are vying for the two Olympic spots in that event.

1 doubt.. Do all the events have 10 races with best 9 races considered for final ranking?

There was huge thunder storm yesterday in Abu Dhabi. Hence I feel day 3 is wash out...No update on result as well

Lasers usually have 10 races, RS:X 12 races, 49ers 15 races. Depending mostly on weather there could be less races but it couldn't be more than that.

Very successful for Thailand. Indonesia failed to qualify their first sailor by just 1 point in men's RS:X.
