Unfortunately I do know how it works... and thats exactly why I question the logic in believing there is a plan or pathway to two events for 2020.
The backroom dealings that have taken place so far since the selection of mixed are of a level that even I struggle to believe and yet they continue, so I see very little chance that the right moves will be made for 2016 or 2020.
So, to that end I propose that we all go sailing and forget the whole debacle that is the Olympics. We all know its much better to go sailing than it is to fight a losing battle about it.
