During debate the Board expressed very clearly and in no uncertain terms that they were voting for the disciplines in which they thought the US had the best medal chances in 2012.


I think that this one statement about states it all. We will only support those disciplines in which we can medal and nothing else. I know that the point of going to the games is to win events and medals. I think that this view is very shortsighted and lacking of any true integrety. Do we look at all of the disciplines in the Olympics and only show support for those in which we can medal and reccommend the removal of all those in which we find it difficult to compete in? As far as sailing medals, last time I looked the US consistently medals in the Tornado class. Not always gold, but medals nonetheless.
