The Greek swimmer who was invited and then uninvited to the Rio Games has been invited once again, according Greek newspaper Kathimerini.
Kristel Vourna received a formal invite to the Games from FINA on July 6, but then had it rescinded July 14 due to an administrative error. On Wednesday, however, FINA reinstated the Greek 100m butterfly champion “following consultations with the International Olympic Committee.”
Vourna placed 12th in the women’s 100m butterfly at the London Games and swam in Greece’s 4x100m relay team, but had only achieved the B-standard time in Rio qualification.
