@OlympicIRL:clap:

 

btw this is his first competition under Ireland flag and nice start for him. I hope that he will be in Tokyo :fingers:

 

This is great news! Thanks for alerting me to this :)

 

I hope he can make it to Tokyo!

Well I'm also not a fan of it :p 

 

I just mean I can (to some agree) understand it. Who knows for example what his personal situation is, maybe Turkey's money can get him from barely getting by to having no financial worries anymore, something like that. I'd find it hard to say no then when I already am not competing for my home country anymore anyway :d 

:yes

Maybe you don't know but Mihael Zgank is not Slovenian anymore, he will compete for Turkey in future ;) I can't wait to see his new name :lol:

I heard about that few months ago. :facepalm:

Speachless,to be honest. Turkey always had good judokas,why they took decent but nothing more judoka, cant imagine. I doubt he can be medal prospect in the future.

Also,even though it happened before,i am amazed that athletes are leaving Slovenia too.

He’s actually probably not naturalized, a *lot* of Brits also hold Irish citizenship, or are at least eligible to claim it. Applies doubly for Brits with an Irish surname.

 

Ireland has incredibly generous citizenship by ancestry rules.
