Athlete Macarena Ceballos, who represents the Argentine national team, entered the semifinal of the 100-meter breaststroke under the flag of the People’s Republic of China due to an error by the organizers of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Before the swimming semi-final, during the athlete’s presentation, the Chinese flag lit up on the screen behind her.
Previously, Lithuanian swimmer Ruta Meilutyte was presented as a neutral athlete over the same distance.
The Paris Summer Olympics take place from July 26 to August 11.
