Now this is a challenge for the USA.

Of the 10 Olympic events Our US clubs prepare young sailors for 5 of them. ... Lasers, 470s, and Finns.

The remaining 5... Boards/Kites, Skiffs and Multihulls..... not so much.

The medal prospects just took a hit...without Keel boats in the mix. Dean Brenner or his successor will really need to pull a miracle out of the bag now. This will really test Brenner's model that he can get a medal contender by converting a sailor... into a skiff or multi sailor.
