Athletistic / Swimming. Lithuanian Olympic swimming champion Ruta Meilutyte reached the semifinals of the Olympic competition in Paris (France) under the flag of neutral athletes. A mistake was made by the organizers who brought the athlete out under the wrong symbols.

When Meilutyte entered the distance, a Chinese flag appeared on the screen. After that, the symbol of neutral athletes lit up.

Let us recall that at the Olympic Games, Russians and Belarusians compete under a neutral flag.

It should be noted that Meilutyte ultimately failed to reach the final of the competition.
