The mono-minds will find a way to appease the IOC, and keep the keelboats in place.
Good point about the America's Cup aftermath.. giving you the prevailing mindset that mono's are better.
Perhaps the Brits will nail Olympic coverage in 2012 and find a way to make it interesting to the general public.
Otherwise, I just don't see it... Fool me once... shame on you... Fool me twice........
The IOC is faced with an expensive sport with no support from Africa AND it's one of the oldest demographics in the Olympics and no facts on the ground that the sports wants change.
How do you spin that?
(Maybe the ISAF leadership has lots of dirt on the IOC and that will keep us in the games... otherwise... poof!)
