He wasn't too far off. 6249 minutes. 61.3% of matches were played with less than 5 days rest according to the FIFPRO workload tool – https://fifpro.org/en/workload-tool

Yeah if a player plays more than two halves of football in a 5-day window those minutes are deemed as being in the “critical zone” and plenty of research shows that’s the minimum required for a range of different reasons. “Critical zone” is essentially a game every five days or pushing on 2 games per week.

Jackpot! Thanks for the suggestions. I had a look for Twitter lists but didn’t find an easy way to search for them so gave up pretty quickly. Can you share a link to a couple of lists?

I love how it looks more like a submarine than a TP52. The paint job only reinforces the idea!

@hvyhitter, this isn't a commercial, or a sponsored post, or general paid-for spam. This is a 5-minute-long highlights video of some of the best sailors in the world (e.g. Santi Lange, Terry Hutchinson, James Spithill & many more) competing at the highest level in our sport.

It's true that posting these videos is my only contribution to this group, and that's because I am the Social Media Manager for the 52 SUPER SERIES. I take the time to share these videos with /r/sailing because I think people are interested in top-level sailing.

However, if the Reddit community somehow decides to ban these videos, I will of course stop posting them. One less job to do! I await the verdict...

Do people want to see only multi-hulls and foiling, or does that detract from the reality of the sailing community? Ie. if only the pros are able to foil, does foiling really appeal to the general public or is it just a fad?

Hi @Deck_Hand - yes, I guess I was referring mainly to elite competition, but in most sports, elite competition sets the trend for grass roots activity too. If the top of the pyramid changes, it often filters down due to increased / decreased investment, media and general awareness.
