A few days ago, I have written an article about the upcoming Olympic 2012 games. I have stated on my article the things that the British government have under went to pave the way for this glamorous event show casing the worlds top class athlete.
Spectators and delegates alike will be flooding the streets of London, but have you ever heared of a person being banned to compete?
For the first time in the annals of Olympic history, Voula Papachristou, a Greek champion in triple jump event was expelled by officials to compete because of being a racist. She had tweeted offensive post against African immigrants saying "with so many Africans in Greece, at least the mosquitoes in West Nile will eat homemade food."
Voula being sanctioned by the Olympic 2012 games organizers because of her arrogant statement also gave apologies to her fellow athletes and fans saying "It was a joke and I don't intend to hurt someones feelings."
Papachristou is a great loss to the delegates of the Greek. But with or without the Greeks champion Olympic 2012 games will commence.
