Well that was shit, a bit like the sailors, less money for the nest 3 years I hope - pretty poor
@machpants I don't understand this reaction. One rider was just very unlucky in this race, while they were ahead. Why would you want their funding cut ?

Wasn't there a wheel nudge?

@crazy-horse Yes, there was.

Just imagine being a team competing at the Olympics. One team member makes a mistake, they lose, and the team's funding is cut, so it's harder for the whole team and any future team members to qualify for and compete at the next Olympics.
That just makes no f*cking sense!

What a race by Italy. Denmark leading with 2 to go and Italy claw it back and win with World Record.

Given the history of the Kendalls and co in windsurfing/boardsailing over the years, it was surprising to see no NZ competitors in Tokyo this time around.
Edit, and apparently none in Rio either. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/tokyo-olympics-2020-auts-sailing-professor-mark-orams-new-zealands-proud-history-in-olympic-sailing-wont-continue-by-chance/5VMDWOXPLG5PZU2H2COAKHR4P4/
