List of athletes not attending the 2016 Summer Olympics due to Zika virus concerns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A number of sportspeople eligible for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro stated that they would not attend because of the ongoing Zika virus epidemic in Brazil. In the case of golf and tennis, media speculated that some absentees were unenthusiastic about competing in any case and used Zika as a convenient excuse.[1][2]
