RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Martin Kaymer is tired of talking about the golfers who aren't at the Olympics.

Even before the first shot is hit Thursday - the official return of Olympic golf for the first time in 112 years - Kaymer has spent enough time at other sports and with other athletes to remember what's important.

And, for him, it's not money.

The most inspiring moment was meeting Andreas Toba in the elevator at the Olympic Village after the German gymnast's brave performance. Toba badly injured his knee during the floor exercise in team competition.
