If I am not wrong, there will also be some new faces in council. That could change everything.

Absoltely agree that "we" risk a match against the 29erXX bid, but that would be a bit strange as the reason the IOC is petitioned in the first place is to get the multihull back in. If the 11th medal is reinstated and council decides to give it to a womens high performance dinghy instead of the multihull..
