Nacra 17 Tokyo Olympics: Day 3 Tracking Links
No streaming today as far we’ve seen, 6 hrs of waiting RSX Medal.. Thanks that Class is gone for current Era, cause many of us criticize Laser & 470 downwinds, well RSX is the same embarrassing stuff to Show the World what’s sailing in 2021.
Imagine that COI has introduced Surf & Skate…
WS has to re think what is delivering for the Games as it was already vox populi Sailing as sport was in risk of being put out of the list.
And don’t get me back that slow s boats make great sailors.. Ashby’s just a proof, Blair & Tuke another.
Also Olympics are a media business now so lets better deliver something the COI can sell.
Put a Moth , a Devoti One, a 69F or whatever performance monohull you like, the World & COI does not care a thing on what the Sailing community thinks is needed.
Laser & 470 can be the greatest Classes around but they wont keep us in the Olympics.
There are exceptions for “ancient” disciplines that will remain a blast no matter how old they might be, for ie Rowing, Fencing, Archery and else, sadly Sailing traditional ones need to be replaced asap, the World is moving fast and we might be left apart.
RSX is gone now and Windsurf Foil will take its place in 2024.
