heywoodu 13,560 Posted May 5, 2016 #23 Share Posted May 5, 2016 1 hour ago, JoshMartini007 said: Australia's Marc Leishman has withdrawn citing Zika virus fears. Mostly citing fears of his wife contracting Zika after getting a life threatening infection last year, right? That's a little different than just "I think I might get Zika, so I won't go".. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Agger 1,591 Posted June 22, 2016 #24 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Rory McIlroy has joined the list of players withdrawing because of zika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,214 Posted June 22, 2016 #25 Share Posted June 22, 2016 It's funny that only the men are withdrawing from the Olympics due to fear of the Zika virus. McIloroy's is the type of golfer that would cause a mass exodus from the tournament. Say goodbye to golf at future Olympics past 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means a lot. The only thing keeping this from being a complete disaster (assuming more withdrawals, it's actually not so bad right now) is that the women's side is intact. First impressions are important and for a sport that barely made the Olympics. They would have to be fully committed in 2020 if they want to stay (or the IOC gets a lot of revenue regardless of the strength of field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, the first men's tennis tournament in 1988 was worse. Only three top ten tennismen were in Seoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,591 Posted June 24, 2016 #30 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Branden Grace is next to withdraw, meaning that the 3 best south african golfers will not go. Graeme McDowell as well. The only positive thing is that it may give 2 of the good old players a chance as Padraig Harrington is next in line for Ireland and Retief Goosen isn't that far away for South Africa Edited June 24, 2016 by Agger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
