www.sailing.org/news/41018.php its confirmed. Unfortunately, its not foiling for the youth but TT racing at the YO in Buenos Aires and then high performance foiling will be at the Games in Tokyo. This will be announced early next year.Lets go!
Serious question.
Will the twin tippers be using C kites and boots?
Or will it be the people who race on foils, using custom racing twin tips and foil kites.

Thats a good question mate. Right now it looks like it will be course racing ( windward/leeward) so foil kites and whatever boards go fast.
Shouldn't this be in the windsurfing section
or the foil section (whatever happened to that fad)
the Olympics is unwatchably boring, it's just a platform for countries and their propaganda machines.
Kiteboarding in the olympics is a bad bad thing.
Gutted.
I still think the best spectator sport would be destruction derby last kite standing or high jump, but over a bar like the pole vaulters use.
Just invent a new genre for the olympics it'd be classic
Kiteboard x would be sick. Kickers in the coarse and the ability to "accidentally knock" an opponent
Twin tip racing -boring as bat**** unless you can fit razorblades to your kite tips and slash competitors lines and kites
Kiteboarding big air like pole vaulting is the the only windbag offering that would be mainstream Olympic TV ....Gold for the sport and everyone!
