Ivana and Nina are irrelevant, on the other hand - they have no famous parents. Future GOAT for sure. At least I believe all of them will make top 100 occasionally with such field.

At least I believe all of them will make top 100 occasionally with such field. I can totally see Ivana having a bright future, but her body seems to be quite injury-prone. She's already had a couple of serious injuries and she's only 19. Back on topic. I think Wozniacki deserves a mention in this thread. She was indeed born and raised in Denmark, but still she's fluent in Polish and always speaks in Polish with her father and the rest of her family.

Майкл 542 Posted May 14, 2016 #113 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Also, Garbine Muguruza was born in Venezuela to Basque or Catalan father (I'm not 100% sure) and Venezuelan mother, before moving to Spain at age of 3. She was really close to start representing Venezuela at some point of her career, but at the end she decided to keep playing under Spain's flag.

mrv86 2,926 Posted July 15, 2016 #114 Share Posted July 15, 2016 From Mexico there will be one naturalized athlete... Kevin Chavez (little traitor ) will represent Australia in 3m Springboard... not only Australia robbed us one good coach in that discipline (well to be fair, he was not appreciated by the corrupt federation here) now they steal the upcoming talent... The other competitor that had previously competed for Mexico is Jackie Galloway (USA, tae kwon do)... she wasnumber 3 on the national team, behind Rosario Espinosa and Briseida Acosta in +67 Olympic category, so she opted to compete for her country of birth (she holds dual citizenship).
