Those who use the zika excuse are pathetic. Just say you don't want to go ffs.

 

 

On the other hand, our chances for a medal are increasing day by day

I would really like some of the ones who fought for golf in the Olympics to tell these golfers, how they're hurting what they fought for!

This is insane ... Jason day Jordan spieth Rory Mcilroy Dustin Johnson are not participating makes this event open for everyone now...anyways they have lost respect as they are only interested in there personal ranks and money while this was the time to represent country in such a huge event...

Spolied golfers continue to impress with their zika hysteria.

 

Anyway, they should be ashamed of themselves and should look at Australian equestrians and what problems they are having. Because of the strict Australian quarantine laws, horses that visit Brazil have to stay in a glanders-free countries (North America or Europe) for six months before they can return to Australia (as if zika and superbug aren't enough, we also have glanders for horses in Brazil, but very marginal...). So basically their Olympic sacrifices would last until February 2017 if they get selected for Australian team. And yet none of the athletes pulled out of the selection trials even though they are well aware of the laws...

Molinaro on instagram: Unfortunately I have decided to withdraw from the Italian Olympic team due to family reasons. I am very disappointed to miss out on golf's return to the Olympics however, I am confident that Matteo will do a fantastic job in my place.

 

I think that Matteo is Matteo Manassero but i'm not sure

The two Dutch women did not meet the criteria of the Dutch NOC and will therefore not be present in Rio.
