Have a problem with the current system of qualification - seems to have USA as the only team with more than 2 golfers (maybe Sth Korea also qualifies in the women's event )

The no 3 GB Australia  or Sth Africa doesn't make it in this system because they are not in the top 10

 

My alternative?

Allow minimum of 21 NOCs(=10 % of all NOCs) to compete (including host + all continents) with all countries having a golfer from outside top 100 in top 100 qualifying.

Max of 4 per NOC

There may well be more than 21 countries and some golfers outside top 100 qualifying.But not necessarily .

 

Don't see the point oh having a no 250 rather than a no 60 qualifying

Universality. The Olympics is not a World elite championship or a major, it's essentially an exhibition event to allow golf to sell itself outside its strongholds, a commercial for casual sports viewers - which is true of very many sports at the Games.  The Games are the one time many casual fans watch untraditional sports; the balance is getting enough quality to give the event Kudos, while reaching out beyond the normal footprint.

 

IF you just want to watch the top players, there are no shortage of tournaments to do so.

Bad example there for South Africa btw with their 3rd man being ranked 101st

 

Indeed even GB’s 3rd man is ranked 68th

 

The only players from inside the top 50 to miss out are from either the USA or Korea and 4 Americans already qualify.

 

All in all, that’s a decent system

Why doesn't Tyrrell Hatton count at 18? Can't be the fact that he joined LIV as John Rahm is showing as qualified.

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
