Swimmer Banished from Olympics After Sneaking Out of Village, Making Brutal Mistake – ‘Disrespectful and Aggressive’
An Olympic swimmer was banned from further participation in this year’s Paris Olympics on Sunday.
The swimmer, 22-year-old Ana Carolina Vieira, was caught leaving the athletes’ village without first asking the team for permission, Reuters reported.
Vieira represented Brazil in the 4×100 meters freestyle relay race. The team finished in 12th place in the heats.
To make matters even worse, team officials and members were completely unaware Vieira had left the village when she did.
At least, that was the case until they spotted social media posts of Vieira enjoying her time away.
A second swimmer, Vieira’s Olympic teammate Gabriel Santos of the men’s team, joined her on the unsanctioned escapade.
