Default Gliding - an olympic sport?

The Kiwis seem to have worked out how to capture the
race using helicopters to gapture the gaggles on film
and GIS systems to predict thermals etc. In this day
and age of advanced met and digital
technology...

Will it ever make it to the podiums?

Tried this post on UK RAS and got zero replies. Does
anyone think we have a chance in hell of ever going
for gold?
