Shoko Miyata, the 19-year-old captain of Japan’s women’s gymnastics team, has been sent home from the Olympics in Paris after she admitted to drinking and smoking
One week before the Opening Ceremony, the 19-year-old captain of Japan’s women’s gymnastics team has been sent home after she admitted to underage smoking and drinking.
Japanese law stipulates that individuals must be 20 years old to consume alcohol or smoke. JGA’s code of conduct prohibits any gymnast from smoking or drinking during team activities, even if they are of legal age. Friday’s press conference was criticized by some for being hasty and hurried, which the JGA acknowledged in its aftermath.
