Luiten won’t play in Olympics despite win in court
Dutch golfer Joost Luiten will not compete in the Tokyo Olympics despite winning a court case that ruled he should be selected for the team. The Netherlands Olympic Committee (NOCNSF) said it would not appeal the court’s decision but would also not send Luiten to the Games. The NOCNSF said its decision was based on its selection policy, which states that athletes must be in the top 15 of the world rankings in their discipline to be eligible for Olympic selection. Luiten is currently ranked 125th in the world. “We respect the court’s decision, but we also have to adhere to our own selection policy,” said NOC*NSF chairman André Bolhuis.
