They say it's all about Medal production, well, how many medals have the US Sailors gathered in those two events in the past 30 years?? I can think of lots of other classes where the US has not had a medal in quite a while, but the Tornado Sailors have been producing for medals for years. What a slap in the face to them.

I didnt have time to go through 30 years of history, but at Athens 2004 the US got 1 gold for the 470 men, and 1 silver for the Tornado.
