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?

    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
