As per my earlier post, this event could have went either way, and it definitely fell short. Given how dismally attended this event was, it was not worth putting it in a more public venue. Site selection is not the difficult part, finding someone to come up with a quarter million dollars to floss the IWSF is the problem. Pro events are different, the Moomba Masters, the US masters, are heavily attended professional events, so less than ideal conditions are acceptable. Putting athletes at risk when there are zero dollars and zero spectators is pointless. I would say live and learn, but we know the latter does not seem to be happening
That being said, amazing how hard these guys and girls fought for their titles. Good work.
