I certainly watched the hot danish team.... too bad the teams figured out the camera angles as the contest went on... BUT thankfully ... IT WAS NOT MIXED!
Pairs Figure skating and Ice Dancing are simply different ... I doubt pairs men's ice dancing is going to be popular... I don't want to opine about women's ice dancing... (grin) But... I believe Will Farrell explored this issue with one of his fine documentaries.
Bottom line.. the nature of MIXED sailing... is completely different then the nature of MIXED Ice dancing.
When coed (Mixed) volleyball makes the olympics... I will drop my objection to coed Mixed sailing.
I just like to bring up these events every now and again to keep people honest. As JW has mentioned (several times), there are lots of "restrictions" and "requirements" being floated here that just aren't accurate; rather, they are personal preferences of the posters (some may be the preferences of a majority of people on this forum, but they are still not IOC requirements).
Ice Dancing (MIXED is OK) Curling (OLD and/or FAT is OK) Laser Sailing (OLD EQUIPMENT is OK)
