Now the trembling starts
Schober narrowly misses out on the Olympics – Spitz is in
Golf pro Sarah Schober narrowly misses out on the Olympics in Paris. Austria will therefore in all likelihood only be represented at the Olympic golf tournament by Sepp Straka and Emma Spitz.
The Styrian slipped out of the International Golf Federation's Olympic top 60 ranking for the Summer Games at the last minute. In the previous week, the 32-year-old had still occupied 60th place in this ranking, the last place that would entitle her to participate.
Schober was already very unlucky three years ago when it came to the Olympics. In 2021, she also narrowly missed out on the top 60, but slipped into the starting field at short notice due to withdrawals. However, the ÖGV golfer ultimately had to withdraw due to the stress of traveling. This time too, an Olympic back door could open for Schober, who is at the top of the reserve list, due to cancellations. However, this might happen at short notice and would still require the approval of the ÖOC, as ÖGV Sports Director Niki Zitny told APA - Austria Press Agency.
In the men's competition, Bernd Wiesberger, who is also eligible to compete, will not be taking part in Paris. The red-white-red hopes at Le Golf National therefore rest on PGA golfer Straka and Spitz, who demonstrated her strong form on the Ladies European Tour with sixth place at the Czech Open at the weekend.
