Kiwi sailors Andy Maloney and Josh Junior have locked on to the way of the future.
After winning the America's Cup with Team New Zealand last year, the two have jumped back into the Olympic sailing arena with their eyes on competing at the Games.
However only one of them
will make the trip to Tokyo in 2020.
Maloney, who raced the 2016 campaign in the laser class, has switched to the Finn for this cycle, putting him in direct competition with Junior - as countries can only have one representative in the class at the Games.
It might create some underlying tension for some people, but not for Maloney and Junior.
"We've set it up really well," Maloney explained. "We've both bought into a sort of agreement in the way we're running the campaign...We're both really keen to help each other improve as much as possible with the idea that which ever one of us goes to the Games, we'll have a really good chance of winning a medal.
