The Board of World Sailing has proposed to introduce a two-person keelboat class to replace the idea of a mixed one person dinghy event for 2024 Olympics.

https://www.sail-world.com/news/211621/2024-Olympics-World-Sailing-Board-makes-late-bid

 

Could some of you here on the forum, who follow sailing more closely than me, explain why the Board wants to create and introduce so many new classes? Are they worried to lose their status as an olympic sport?

What

The idea is that a man and a woman from each country would sail in separate one-person boats, before having their scores added together at the end to determine a winner.

 

The idea sounds totally ridiculous. Not even IOC could come up with such an idea for a mixed event.

Oh yes this sounds fantastic! I already find it impossible to follow sailing with different routes being taken on the water depending on wind and currents you can not see, points systems where the worst results are scrapped so you need a calculator simply to look at the standings, adding more confusing sounds wonderful :woohoo:

not the full status, but they still have to follow those "gender equality" rules, so they want to put into the schedule more and more "mixed" events or try to replace some of the men's only classes with women's ones until the number of events and athletes is the same for the 2 main genders (they're so idiot that they don't even know nowadays the genders are not only 2 anymore...at least in some Countries :whistle:)...

it's always all about that idiot policy the "new" IOC is pursuing, not looking at the actual sport outcome but at some not better specified interests...:facepalm::wall:

Then we will have ten competitions times number of genders and that's all folks. Probably only athletics and swimming will survive.

    • Because of the low number of votes some categories may be cancelled (under the rule that at least two people should vote for a nominee). I may give a few more days for voting but I guess there's just no interest this year 
    • In Italy in recent years there is simply been a problem with training new talents and looking at Colturi, the problem probably isn`t a lack of talented youngsters but poor training. Colturi and Collomb were at similar level a few years ago but where are they now? And this is the same year of born - 2006. Since Goggia and Brignone young time we haven`t trained a single champion. It`s the same with men. Vinatzer is wasting away and regressing in development, the same with della Vite in the giant slalom. The problem is it the outdated system which proved effective at the beginning of the 21st century but not now This also applies to other winter disciplines with a few exceptions.
    • Peterman/Gallant will be Canada’s Olympic representatives after defeating Homan/Bottcher 10-5 in the Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials Final.   Undefeated all week long, just incredible 
    • Homan with a shot for 4 to make things interesting, but the red stone jams on the yellow stone in the back 8 and they only score the 2.   8-5 Peterman/Gallant with hammer coming home. Almost seems inevitable at this point. 
    • Homan/Bottcher convert on their power-play, with a wide open draw for two. With how this game has been going, and that whiff by Brett, slightly underwhelming of a score but at least it’s something?   Peterman/Gallant up 6-3 and have the hammer in the 6th end.
