☆ Top Japanese Gymnast Withdraws From Paris 2024 for Smoking and Drinking Alcohol
  + stars: | 2024-07-23 | by ( Ali Watkins | More About Ali Watkins | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Japan’s Olympic gymnastics team will head into the Paris Games this week without its captain, Shoko Miyata, after she withdrew from the team following an investigation that found she had violated the squad’s code of conduct by smoking and drinking alcohol. In a news conference last week, officials with the Japan Gymnastics Association, which conducted the investigation, announced Ms. Miyata’s withdrawal from the Olympics, saying that “both parties discussed the matter” and that Ms. Miyata had decided not to compete. The Japan Gymnastics Association’s code of conduct forbids drinking or smoking while in official team programs, regardless of age. The legal age for drinking and smoking in Japan is 20; Ms. Miyata is 19. Ms. Miyata allegedly violated the code of conduct on two occasions; once in a private residence in Tokyo, and again in a classroom of the Athlete’s Village of Japan’s National Training Center, according to gymnastics officials.

☆ Shoko Miyata: Japanese gymnast withdraws from Olympic Games after smoking and drinking alcohol

CNN —Shoko Miyata, the captain of Japan’s women’s gymnastics team, has withdrawn from Paris 2024 after allegedly breaking the team’s code of conduct by smoking and drinking alcohol, according to the Japanese Gymnastics Association (JGA). The legal smoking and drinking age in Japan is 20 and the JGA’s code of conduct prohibits gymnasts from doing either during team activities, regardless of age. Nishimura said that one incident of smoking took place “in a private place at a certain location in Tokyo” and a separate incident of drinking took place “in a room in the Athlete Village of the National Training Center.”“She engaged in smoking and drinking due to numerous pressures from the competitive targets that had been set,” Nishimura added. Miyata, who won bronze on the balance beam at the 2022 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, was due to captain Japan’s women’s team of debut Olympians. The country’s women’s team is trying to win its first team medal since the 1964 Tokyo Games.
