Ridiculous sports to be in Olympics.
have you even tried sailing
@@user-bf3yh6ue7p No, I'm not that rich.
@@utpalsachankaboro2344 first, you don't even have to be rich to buy a boat, your local sailing club could rent you a laser, optimist or any dinghy for a really affordable price. Second, you really need to be fit as hell or you will capsize immediantly, or in strong winds you can't even pull the sail normally you have to pull it with both hands. And it's not everything about fitness it's about how you think and making 1 second decisions and after trinings for 4-6 hours you are out of energy, both physically and mentally from all decisions and all the little things you need to watch and at the same time keep the boats balance and and react how the boat goes, it looks different from the screen, they are champions and make it look easy. Sport sails are very different from boats and yachts where you can live cook and sleep. It's really fun tho, you should really give it a try
Thank you for such a thorough explanation of sports sailing. I'm sure it involves a lot of skill but it's just not fun to watch as a spectator compared to river rafting which I love as there is a sense of danger in it when done in natural white waters. I once did RIVER RAFTING and it's challenging and fun BOTH TO DO IT AND WATCH IT from the river banks. I would like it if sailing had an extra element such as if you can through your opponent of his boat you get extra points. That would be awesome to watch😄
@@utpalsachankaboro2344 true often at olimpics caster are very bad and don't know anything about sailing, but it does look very boring from the camera view, it's way more fun when you try yourself, i too believe that river rafting is way more fun to watch and even i myself sometimes watch it. Your really get that adrenaline rush in river rafting, i think it's very fun too. But as i said sailing is 1000x times more fun when you sail at the moment by yourself, it's more like chess w
