Using the criteria logic of NZ it surprises me that they didn’t lobby and vote to have the Americas cup included as part of the Olympics, - NZ’s best chance to win a medal? – (Their arguments being - millions of sailors around the world sail these boats at clubs and regattas ever week, they are the pinnacle of sailing ability, an inexpensive class to get started in, at any venue you can see hundreds of these boats being raced every week, live video streaming into the homes of tens of thousand of viewers who are kept on the edge of their seats watching this fast, exciting racing (better than F1 in cars), all race results finalised on the water with never any protests or court action arguments, this class is just what the sport needs at Olympic level to increase TV rating much higher than any other sport and provide massive amounts of revenue into the IOC’s and ISAF’s coffers).
This is about as logical an argument/dream “for the betterment of the sport” of sailing at Olympic level, as the arguments that NZ (and others) used to vote in the ridiculous way that they did.
