dcro 10,179 Posted March 15, 2016 Author #33 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) And here is the article about Allan Julie from Seychelles who wants to qualify in Finn even though he has only been training Finn for two weeks. He is a four time Olympian, but in Laser. http://www.finnclass.org/news/166-major-championships-2016/814-allan-julie-setting-the-bar-high-to-qualify-for-rio-olympics Edited March 15, 2016 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,201 Posted March 15, 2016 #34 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Interesting. Julie lost the fight to qualify in the laser to his compatriot. The finn class is a bit different, yet similar enough that a person can transition to it. If he had more time to train I would call him the favourite. I guess we'll know once the races begin.

You had a sailor at the Olympics as recently as in 2008. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted March 15, 2016 Author #40 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Our women's 49er FX crew will have a very difficult task, even though they showed a big improvement at the last year's World Championships. I have also already assumed that African quota would be reallocated to Ireland, what would make our qualification a bit easier, but looks like Algeria denied that. On the other hand, it will be a huge dissapointment if we don't qualify in men's RS:X. It's too easy, 2 quotas for only 7 nations (and that includes Latvia, Slovakia and Turkey). And I also expected that we would qualify in men's RS:X before this regatta... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
