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!
@stargazer you are honestly the nicest, most positive guy
Don't ever change

What about all the also runs who never even made their finals?

I don’t know. That polish chick was impressive!

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/

Maybe she's a Ferner?

@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 ?

Unlucky?
To quote Stuart O'Grady on Ch7 this morning: one golden rule of cycling ... watch where you're going.
