World Sailing - Midyear Meeting - London GBR - unbelievable !

Friday, May 11, 2018   
We expressed yesterday our concerns about the Midyear Meeting underway now with the definition of the 10 Olympic events for 2024 (Paris/Marseille) Olympics as main subject on the Agenda.
If one thought, that the confusion was big enough, the unexpected surprise was that yesterday morning, there has been an unprecedented and almost unbelievable development in the continuing controversy surrounding the selection. WS President Kim Andersen DEN has made a "President's Late Submission" via letter emailed yesterday morning to Member National Authorities and WS delegates which, he made clear, "is a personal submission, not a World Sailing Board submission." Here is his his submission.
Never before, a President tried to influence this most important decision with a "late submission" not discussed with his Board. I wonder, how the responsible Delegates present in London, most of them without any practical exposure to Olympic Classes racing, not to speak about the Games, will come to a solution in the interest of our sport.
