Dec-10-14  wordfunph: who can beat this?

<Welsh Board 1 David James can probably claim to have the largest gap in appearances in Olympiads of any player in the world. David made his debut in Skopje 1972, the first time Wales had entered the Olympiad, and then waited twenty years before playing his second in Manila 1992.>
