JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted September 26, 2018 #31 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Does anyone know how continental championships work? I'm trying to create an athlete database. Do they ignore sailors from other continents or does a sailor from Europe get to be the North American champion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFHg 330 Posted September 26, 2018 #32 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Typically there are continental titles and open titles at the same time. “Foreign” athletes compete for the open, being excluded from the continental rankings Edited September 26, 2018 by AlFHg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,791 Posted October 29, 2018 #33 Share Posted October 29, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea sound 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 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Are they worried to lose their status as an olympic sport? 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 )... 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...

Agger 1,576 Posted November 2, 2018 #40 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Sounds like a 2 person mixed keelboat will be added instead of the mixed one-person dinghy event. I guess that's really goodbye for finn, but it's better than the mixed idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
