Israel: Olympics delegates misunderstood kiteboard vote
The International Sailing Federation's (ISAF) decision to drop windsurfing from the Olympics in favor of kiteboarding likely came about because some delegates didn't realize what they were voting for, Israel's sailing chief said on Friday.
"The delegates were probably confused or didn't understand the motion fully because of language difficulties, or some may have been napping at the presentations and then cast their votes without realizing the implications," Yehuda Maayan told Reuters. (Reuters)
