That was in part due to the removal of the two man Star class which was where Finn Class sailors used to move onto. Instead the best sailors were forced to stay in the Finn class.

Monzanator 3,827 Posted August 3, 2021 #182 Share Posted August 3, 2021 So, what's the reason to remove Finn class from Olympics? Let me guess, they have to have mixed gender sailing class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 791 Posted August 3, 2021 #187 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Really surprised to see Germany winning 3 medals, more than at the previous 4 olympics combined. I fear that this means that they will get more funding. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Makedonas 1,911 Posted August 3, 2021 #188 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Improvement from Mantis/Kagialis but not enough. They're now 6th with just the medal race to go. I was hoping they'd be able to win another medal after bronze in 2016 but I guess not. Too bad Looks like their bronze from 2016 will be the only Greek sailing medal from the last three Olympics combined. Pretty disappointing but I'm still somewhat optimistic about the future of Greek sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Finn sailor now has no idea what to do with his career (and his sponsors, etc). I guess we'll see him try the 470 or the 49er with some partner.

It was the same with Robert Scheidt that was forced to return to Laser class in 2016 after the end of Star in 2012. Now he says he will definitely change classes again, just don't know if it will be an Olympic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
