Japanese gymnast Shoko Miyata had to withdraw from the Olympic team after she was discovered to have been smoking and drinking.
Shoko Miyata, the captain of Japan’s artistic gymnastics team, was sent home earlier this week for smoking and drinking. A report instated that the 19-year-old withdrew from the Japanese Olympic team after it was determined she had violated the team’s code of conduct. Miyata’s withdrawal comes just a week before
“We apologize from the bottom of our hearts for this,” said Tadashi Fujita, president of the Japanese Gymnastics Association. Miyata is the reigning Japanese champion, and at the 2022 World Championships, she took home the bronze medal on the balance beam. Mutsumi Harada, Miyata’s coach, was understandably upset about the situation.
“She was spending her days really burdened with so much pressure. I implore people to understand that,” Harada told the press on Friday. According toPoor Shoko! It’s not like she was using performance-enhancing drugs. If anything, a hangover probably makes you worse on the beam. I do feel that some blame must be put on Team Japan. You sent a stressed-out 19-year-old perfectionist to Europe —, of the whole team wearing comically large hats.
