Sepp Straka starts his second Summer Games on Thursday. "It's a completely different feeling because you're playing for a medal for your country," says the golf star happily. Although he has a small culinary problem at the Olympic hotel, a converted palace in Versailles: There is no Diet Coke.

Sepp Straka is staying with other golf stars such as Rory McIlroy at the Olympics in a converted chateau. He shares an apartment at the Dolce by Wyndham Versailles hotel with his wife Paige and their son Leo, who was born in December. Everything in the five-star hotel is generously proportioned - just like on the magnificent Le Golf National course, which is just a 15-minute drive away.
