Well, they'd stand a good chance of coming back with an infectious or communicable affliction or disease anyway as a result of kitesurfing in sewage anyway...or get robbed int he streets as other athletes have... Might as well wait for a more pristine and civil venue...

As others have stated, if kiteboarding had made it into the Olympics, it would have been LEI kites and unidirectional race boards so together with the venue, the sport definitely dodged a bullet.

IMO, Olympics are where sports go to die. Shotput anyone?
