Have you got any ideas on the original question: What's the [public]
case being made out for making the Olympics (and possibly thereafter RRS
Appendix 1) no discards?


Wellllll... one good idea is enough for this year. No! Have you
checked on ISAF's web site?

Another good idea g.

I checked the ISAF Olympic links, and the no discards proposition was
only a rumour. The NOR states

15. SCORING
15.1 The Low Point scoring system of Appendix A will apply.
15.2 Four races are required to be completed to constitute a series.
15.3 (a) When fewer than 5 races have been completed, a boat's series
score will be the total of her
race scores.
(b) When 5 to 11 races have been completed, a boat's series score will
be the total of her race
scores excluding her worst score.
(c) When 12 or more races have been completed, a boat's series score
will be the total of her
race scores excluding her two worst scores.
