The only Tokyo 2020(1) sport in which slovakia managed to qualify for the very first time in its history is golf.

 

Thanks to the 45-year-old naturalized South African golfer Rory Sabbatini. Rory will be the oldest athlete in our team, 67 days older than Shooter Erik Varga.

 

Sabbatini was born in Durban, South Africa. He turned professional in the world Golf circuit in 1998, during his career he won 8 tournaments, including 6 PGA Tour events and finished 2nd in the 2007 Masters.

 

The 20th December 2018 Sabbatini became officially Slovak citizen, A citizenship he applied thanks to his marriage with his long time love Martina. She will accompany him in the small 3 members Slovak golf team during this historic moment for Golf in the country as his coach and support, She was originally picked as caddie, but later at the NOC final delegation nomination assembly it was changed, she will be listed as his coach in Tokyo and the president of our Golf federation (Rory´s wife cousin) will assumes the duties of his caddie.

 

Just like for Slovakia also for Sabbatini himself it will be the first Olympics. He was not selected by South Africa for Rio 2016 during the return of the sport under the five rings, now he will be an Olympian in the colors of his new country.

If a bird grabs the ball and flies away with it, what happens? But what if a crocodile eats one of the players?

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

the player can drop a new ball (with no penalty) where the thing happened...

 

p.s. it's already happened in the past...more than once (the yearly tournament in New Orleans is famous because it often has alligators sunbathing on the side of the artificial lakes around the course)...

I've seen some very funny videos on youtube featuring birds who pick up balls and fly away :) 

 

Did those alligators ever take a bite out of a golfer's ass?

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
