The Paris Olympic Games 2024 are set to start from July 26. While it's very hard to qualify for the prestigious sports event, an error by an athlete could even cancel his or her ‘earned spot. A similar fate took away Shoko Miyata’s place in Japan’s Gymnastics team. Captaining her side in the Summer Olympics Games, she broke the team’s code of conduct by smoking. JGA (Japanese Gymnastics Association) officials said Miyata arrived in Japan on Thursday after leaving the team's training camp in Monaco for investigation, which confirmed the violation including drinking alcohol. As per the further statement issued by JGA, the women's squad will compete with four athletes instead of five. Miyata won the Bronze Medal in the 2022 World Championships.
