(I’ve broken out my planning thoughts for the upcoming games here – feel free to comment)

Using the historical 1948 games as a guide, there are some 135 separate events for which medals will be awarded. Not all results will be detailed in the eventual news thread for the games, but I will do my best to provide an adequate accounting of who won what.

For the Open Division

Sailing - Firefly class
Sailing - Star class
Sailing - Swallow class
Sailing - Dragon class
Sailing - 6-meter class

From what I have found in my research, the sailing events were open to crews of either gender, hence their designation as ‘open’. This will allow Japan to send all-female crews if it so wishes.

Oh boy, that list ends up long... eh...

The Chilean Olympic Committee respectfully requests to add 'Gliding'. :)

Bruce, can I just make a spreadsheet with all the entries I've got an send it to you? Otherwise my response is going to be quite long...

Looks like a lot of work for you

May be you can put all the events in an Excel-Sheet so we can fill the participants .... or i will do it for the chinese delegation and send it to you ?!?!?!
Because as Brock said, otherwise my list will be very long.

In my search for Chinese participants, I have encountered several OTL problems .... Chinese Civil War (1927-1936 &1946-1950); disput between PRC (People Republic of China) and Taiwan about the legitimacy, which country is the "representative" of China, so PRC boycotted the olympic games till 1984.

So i will make a mixture .... using otl athlets and "fictive" athlets. Hope that will be okay.

Feel free to send me as much detail on your participants as you wish; I will use as much of it as I can.

A quick comment. In sailing, I happened to notice that the Swallow class was only used once (in the 1948 London Games) and then abandoned because the design wasn't popular outside the UK. Still want to have it show up?

Bruce, I'll have you this spreadsheet in a bit. I'm not going to put names down, though.

Sure I do! It can be something the participants can gripe about IC. :D

Should i send the Excel-Sheet to your mentioned e-mail in your profile ?

Yes. That is still my current email addy.

Checking back, I used the Swallow Class for the 1944 London games, but yes I suspect there would still be little take up elsewhere in WW since that time.

I'm happy for Bruce to use whatever Argentine, Belgian, Dutch and British athletes that actually participated in the real 1948 games, I don't have any fictional characters or obvious reasons to change things from the OTL.
