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.

Olympics 2012
Every four years Olympics commenced, Olympics 2012 is going to be hosted by London and this is for the third time after sixty four years beating Moscow, New York City, Paris and Madrid who had their share of a host country.
With the huge volume of people coming in from different parts of the world as well as delegates and athletes, London will be busier than ever.
Olympics 2012 is well anticipated by the British government thus revamp of the city was addressed as early as 2011 where new arenas and stadiums were built to house the venue of the games. Transportation system was upgraded to insure spectators to arrived at the venue they prefer the soonest possible time as well as the athletes.
The event will be a great one considering the preparations that the British Government had for the Olympics 2012.
