Is this a good thing, not a good thing or neither? One of the ISAF criteria for selection of Olympic equipment is that it "must give the best sailors in each country the opportunity to participate". Are six crews (or two crews if you like) really so far ahead of the rest of the country that there is no reason for a whole bunch of other sailors to be competing for this berth? Is there anyone else in the country who could give Lovell/Ogletree or Daniel/Stunzi a run for their money?
