[마이데일리 = 이후광 기자] Due to the one-year delay in the Tokyo Olympics, the date for determining eligibility for golf events has changed.
The International Golf Federation (IGF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on the 30th of last month: “The qualification schedule for the Olympic game of golf will change according to the 2021 schedule, in addition to the one-year delay of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. ” Said.
Due to the one-year delay in the Olympics, male athletes were eligible to compete through the Olympic golf rankings, which were added until June 21, 2021, and women through June 28. The calculation of the classification for the Olympic Games began on July 1, 2018 and was scheduled to close in June this year until the postponement was decided. At the Olympic Games, 60 men and women will participate.
Olympic golf rankings remain
Both boys and girls are based on the world golf ranking. On March 20, the Gender Classification Steering Committee announced that the classification announcement would be temporarily suspended due to Corona19. The time to resume ranking will be announced again later.
IGF said: “This announcement was prepared based on the eligibility related amendment regulations to be announced on April 2 when the IOC postponed the Tokyo Olympics.”
The revised provisions included a guarantee of a grace period of up to two years for eligibility to compete in the existing Olympic Games, and the adjustment of the date to determine eligibility. As a result, the IGF has changed the new eligibility date to enter the postponed Olympic dates and has been approved by the IOC.
IGF Executive Director Anthony Scanrun said: “Once the IOC has decided on the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the eligibility principles, the fairest and most reasonable way to determine the selection method was to change the eligibility date.” .
“I am grateful that the IOC has made flexible and clear changes to the principles in advance in making this important decision. IGF will continue to work with the IOC and the Tokyo Olympic Games Organizing Committee to work with interest and resolution on the impact of golf tournaments and players due to tournament delay. At Olympic Golf in 2021, we will help athletes have a fair and special experience in a safe competition environment. “
