Olympic Classes - Alternatives to be proposed to the IOC instead of the Two-Person-Mixed-Offshore event

Yesterday evening at the World Sailing Midyear Meeting, the Events Committee discussed alternatives to be proposed to the IOC instead of the Two-Person-Mixed-Offshore event. Two of the three projects on the table were retained: The Individual Men’s and Women’s Two Person Dinghy (470 Class) as the first alternative event, and the Individual Men’s and Women’s Kiteboarding (Formula Kite Class) as the second alternative event. This recommendation will now go to World Sailing’s Council who will meet on May 14. They will discuss and vote on the submissions. The outcome of the process will be a decision of two alternative event proposals, ranked in order of preference, ahead of the IOC deadline, which is May 26, 2021. ----- The World Sailing Midyear Meeting page with details and links to the session live streams.
