Bad Kitty 252 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 What a balls up! Gotta feel for athletes that spent years windsurfing, started kiting recently after the decision to have kiting at Rio, now are back to windsurfing. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe AC25's would be the go What and drop the Tornado class They suddenly realised the number on countries with KITE SURFING does not warrant dropping windsurfing. They where not going to get the participates in numbers. Until recently it was a windsurfer that held the world sailing speed record, although on a different board.. They already have gymnastics don't they It should be an extension to that class. The Olympics should be shunned for several years or only be allocated to countries that have advanced, serious and meaniful man made greenhouse gas reduction policies in force.
