World number one Jon Rahm thinks he won’t be able to attend the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this week because he hasn’t reached his destiny.
Rahm is sure to compete for a medal in Spain’s shirt at Tokyo 2020 thanks to the top position in the world professional men’s golf rankings (OWGR). But he was eliminated a few days before leaving for Japan due to nCoV infection for the second time in two months
“I had the opportunity to go to Tokyo to find a medal for my country. How happy I would be if I became the first Spaniard to own an Olympic golf gold medal. But fate arranged for me other plans. “, Rahm tweeted on July 25 after the announcement of being eliminated according to the epidemic prevention rules from the Japanese host.

“This is also a reminder that we are still in the pandemic and need to get through it together. I wish the best of luck to all the Spanish players in Tokyo and will be cheering them on from home,” Rahm added. . He composes content in both his mother tongue and English.
Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau of the US delegation were found to be infected at the final screening session of the three-phase testing process before leaving for Tokyo. Rahm, who has received a single dose of the Jassen vaccine, was tested three times and all tested positive. This morning, July 26, the Spanish Olympic Committee announced that Jorge Campillo would replace Rahm, next to Adri Arnaus in the men’s event and two women’s teammates – Carlotta Ciganda, Azahara Munoz. DeChambeau was eliminated at the last minute, the US put Patrick Reed in the squad.
Rahm, who contracted Covid-19 in the first week of June, was discovered right after holding the top of the table by six strokes at Memorial on the PGA Tour. At that time, he thought he would give up the major US Open 2021 because he had to isolate for 10 days. Not yet the required standard, Rahm met the health conditions – twice negative in 24 hours, so he made it to South Torrey Pines – the US Open host ground – and then won at -6.
“I believe in fate. After the unfortunate incident two weeks ago, I’m really still optimistic and always think good things will come. I know I will reach this place, achieve a breakthrough victory in the presence of my parents. And when I soon recovered from Covid-19, I believed even more in fate,” Rahm said at the closing ceremony of the 121st US Open.
