Olympics Sailing Tickets Information

Olympics Sailing
The history of Olympics has been enlightened with the competitions of Sailing or Yachting, right from the beginning in the second phase started in 1896 in Greece. It is interesting to know that the United States competed in the first Olympic Yachting events held in 1900, but not again until 1928. Afterwards American Yachting Team had attended every Olympic occasion except the Olympics of 1980, being held in USSR, due to an official boycott by the U.S. Teams.

The winning history of U.S. Yachting tells that the first medal won by it in Olympics was in 1932 Games in Los Angeles, taking gold in the Star and 8 Meter classes, and silver in the 6 Meter class. There is a unanimous consensus that U.S. is the leader in Olympic Yachting, having a total medal record of 58. 23 of the U.S. medals have been won over the last four Olympiads.

Hilary and Paul Smart were the first father and son in the same sport to win Olympic gold in 1948 for America. Then the series of medals started and Bill and Carl Buchan were gold medal winners in different classes in the 1984 Olympics held again in Los Angeles. Another important factor for sports loving persons is that Bill Buchan, at age 49, was the oldest member of the U.S. Olympic Team in the same Olympiad.

It was in 1988, the first women's event was raced in the double handed division. It is the same event, where the U.S. won Olympic gold in the event sailing in 470s. Later in 1992, two additional women's divisions – single handed and windsurfer -- were added at the Summer Games in Barcelona, the 1992. Here U.S. Sailing Team got chances to win more Olympic medals as single gold, six silver, and two bronze medals, which was definitely more than any other country.

Here is a look at the difference in sailing and yachting. Actually the sport was known as yachting until 2000, when the name was officially changed. At the time of 1900, the boats used for the sport were really the yachts, large boats with as many as 10 crew members and the term was introduced as same in the Olympic category..

Due to the application and developments in every sector with modern methods, these big yachts were gradually replaced by smaller, one-design sailboats and the internal psyche to put the burden on the skill of the sailors rather than the natural speed of the boat.

It results could easily be checked by the winning phenomenon in the seven races from 1936 to 1988. it was in 1992, the Soling class had six round robin races leading up to match races based on the round robin standings, and Sail boarding had a series of 10 races. All classes except Soling went to an 11-race series in 1996. The Soling competition consisted of 10 round robin races that year. In 2000 and 2004, there were 16 races for the 49er class.

There are two different point systems being in use for the score. In one system, each boat is given point's equivalent to its placing in a race; that is, 1 point for first place, 2 points for second, and so forth. Later in 1968, negative point system was introduced, which is based on the following scale: First place, 0; Second, 3; Third, 5.7; Fourth, 8; Fifth, 10; Sixth, 11.7; Seventh, 13. One point was added for each subsequent place below seventh.

There was no distinction in the competitions, for the men and women until 1984. For the first time in the Olympic history, separate men's and women's competitions were added in some events in 1988. Although many of the events still remain open to either sex. As you know that it is necessary to hold sailing competitions in a large body of water, so at many times, it has been held at some distance from the city hosting the Olympics. For example at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, these competitions were held in Savannah near Atlanta.
