Psyche 789 Posted yesterday at 01:42 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:42 AM My favourite image from the last Olympics was of this gold medalTurkish shooter. Obviously very talented, but didn't look like he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars getting there. I think it's a bit unfair to blame the lack of Olympic success solely at the feet of YNZ. So much has changed in New Zealand socially and in the Olympics as far as what's required to get to the top step. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boxonsmash 6 Posted yesterday at 06:57 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:57 AM At least the gentleman above got to the Olympics Mr Psyche. Unlike far too many Kiwi sailors who won slots to the Olympics and weren't sent. But no one in this thread has blamed YNZ for a lack of Olympic success. What contributors on this thread are saying YNZ has to be held accountable for the mess it has gotten NZ Olympic sailing into, the conduct revealed in its own internal inquiry ,and that which will revealed in the Sports Integrity Commission inquiry. YNZ must have been totally insensitive, tone deaf and blind to the lessons it should have learned from the damming inquiries into Rowing NZ, Cycling NZ and Canoe Racing NZ. Who do you think should be held accountable; The NZ Hockey Association , The Wanganui Opera Society, or The Greymouth La Leche League ? If not YNZ is not responsible for running itself out of Olympic sailors who is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
