LooserLu tried posting this, but had some trouble, so I'm giving it a whirl on his behalf.
Hi,
The Games are running, best time to make a thread about it.
I reminded a movie about professional athletes, that belong to disciplines
of the Summer-Games, that missed to get the ticket for the Olympic Event in
that summer. In 1987 some athletes (from the disciplines of running) from
the nation Jamaica didn't got the ticket for the Summer Games and decided to
join the Olympic-Wintergames of 1988 in Calgary/CAN in the bobsleigh
discipline.
The rest is history and well told in a famous movie ("Cool Runnings") - "Jah
man"...
Looking to the Olympic disciplines for our dinghy, only one Laserite per
discipline and nation is allowed to start at the Olympic Sailing-races.
So, a situation, like with that Jamaicans, perhaps can be interesting for
this or that pro-sailing Laserite, that in 150-% desires to join the
Olympics -
F.e.: Of the fellows (and in future: ladies, too), that get the second place
in the ranking of the Olympic-trials for the Games...
To bring my first and my second thoughts together: In your Opinion, which
would be the best discipline for the Olympic Wintergames for a Laserite?
