So the decision is based on the premius that "we can buy the medals"???
More or less accurate. The voting was done, not to advance the interest in yachting, but rather, based on medal chances and representation within US Sailing.
If that is the case, why doesn't John Lovell/Charlie Ogletree's Silver carry any weight. I mean it seems to me that if we took silver on the Tornado at the last Olypics, are our chances to medal not better than say in an event where we did not medal in the past Olympics? Why can't they just add another event? I'm guessing the answer there is money. Heaven forbid we cut out an ice skating event or gymnastics event.
