The reality is regardless of gender to make it in an olympic sailing event you have to be supremely fit.....any of the sailors would knock spots off the fitness of any of us forum posters regardless of their sex......I have very close contact with all the GBR teams and I do know how many hours a day they spend in the gym on fitness and strength.......the girls level of fitness makes me ashamed of my physical ability.......any one who questions their fitness and physical aptitude really have no f**king idea.....
i think the same is true for windsurfers and kite surfers. The top women can put most all men to shame and only the top men have a chance of putting in a better performance than them.
