Joost Luiten Barred from Olympics Despite Court Victory

Dutch golfer Joost Luiten's legal win to compete in the Paris Olympics is nullified by the IOC's refusal to expand the field.

  • Luiten won a Dutch court case mandating his inclusion in the Olympic golf team.
  • The International Golf Federation requested an exception to include Luiten, which the IOC denied.
  • The Dutch Olympic Committee originally excluded Luiten due to low medal prospects.
  • Luiten's spot was reallocated to another player before the court ruling.
  • Luiten has not yet decided whether to pursue further legal action.
