"It's all over bar the crying". That was sailor Peter Bromby's verdict on his chances of making a fifth straight Olympics after his mast snapped mid-race in Miami yesterday.
He could equally have been talking about Bermuda's medal hopes.
With Bromby out of the picture, what chance does the island have of claiming a podium spot in Beijing?
Triathlete Flora Duffy has shown she can compete with the best in the world but is still a big outsider.
After that, everyone else will be there largely for the experience.
As it stands only Duffy and equestrians Jill Terceira or Patrick Nesbitt have qualified. Swimmers Keira Aitken and Roy Allen Burch and track athletes Xavier James, Arantxa King and Tyrone Smith are close.
But it could be a very small contingent heading for China in August.
