A gold medal in 2008.
A gold medal in 2024.
That would be seriously incredible for an athlete to win 2 gold medals at the Olympics 16 years apart.
So then this would be historical? Nadal winning 2 gold medals 16 years apart?Even Michael Phelps did not achieve the feat, although he did qualify for the Olympics in 2000 at the age of 15, an unbelievable achievement in swimming.
Offhand I know that Sue Bird won gold in 2004 and 2020, although that was in a team sport.
So then this would be historical? Nadal winning 2 gold medals 16 years apart?
Completely agree with Herr von Arnim. The ITF and ATP have a strange schizophrenic attitude to the Olympics, sometimes awarding it ranking points, sometimes not and yet recognising it as one of tennis' big titles!! Plus what does it have to do with whether you've played Davis Cup or not (another event they both have a schizophrenic attitude towards)??
There is no guarantee 2024 is rafa’s final year. He said it might be. We will have to see. I changed my mind thinking it’s over for him. We don’t know the extend of the injury yet.Hopefully Nadal will bless us with a sleeveless team Spain kit one final time

Nah last chance for Djokovic I feel as well. He’d be 41 by the next one.Well, it's certainly his final time at the Olympics. Djokovic might have 3 more chances
Nadal told you this personally?I'm not sure why you people think that Bull even wants to participate at the olympics.
It's all about RG for him, and he might play Barcelona and Madrid one more time but that's it. He doesn't care about the olympics.

Because it’s a 4 year gap.idk about the DC, but really, what's the reasoning behind the Olympics tennis not awarding any points?

Rafa bashers are known for creating fake stories about him.
They used to reward ranking points for the Olympics, in 2008 and 2012, and then they dropped it again.idk about the DC, but really, what's the reasoning behind the Olympics tennis not awarding any points?
Okay, so I got genuinely interested and looked up what was up with this. Found these relevant bits:They used to reward ranking points for the Olympics, in 2008 and 2012, and then they dropped it again.
Isn't he that short dude that plays for the Miami dolphins or something?Messi has nothing left to prove.![]()

I was falsely accused of having an alternate account. TTW investigated and it was proven false. The same poster or alt might start that stuff again. Only in Former Player Section I can start a thread without having someone start the usual routine.
