you're right

 

my bad, but I just don't follow paralympic sport and their events basically don't exist for me 

Sailing hasn't been part of the Paralympics itself since 2016.

I expected Brazil, Australia and New Zealand to do better, but obviously it can still change. 8 quote places would be great for Germany. Quite telling that Germany (right now) would qualify in all events except men's/women's skiff, obviously that is their weak spot.

The top three almost in home waters - literally so in the case of the Dutch.

Could someone more knowledgeable pless tell me which of the following events are olympic:

a) Men's Dinghy

b) Women's Dinghy

c) Mixed Dinghy

d) Men's Kite

e) Women's Kite

f) Men's Windurfing

g) Women's Windsurfing

Seven of the ten events. The others are the men's and women's skiffs (49er & 49erFX) and the mixed multihull (Nacra17).

And finally today's bit of useless information. The first woman to win a gold medal at the OG was in sailing in 1900 in an early example of a "mixed event".

I believe the image is of her in her sailing kit.

My prediction is: not at all. No wind in Scheveningen at the moment (I live nearby).

they are very late; they will cancel races
