FILE- Greece's Voula Papachristou …

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Triple jumper Voula Papachristou was expelled from
Greece's Olympic team Wednesday for her comments on Twitter mocking African
immigrants and expressing support for a far-right party.

The Hellenic Olympic Committee said Wednesday that Papachristou is "placed
outside the Olympic team for statements contrary to the values and ideas of
the Olympic movement."

Papachristou is in Athens and has not responded to calls from The
Associated Press. The committee said she was to travel to London shortly
before the track events start.

Papachristou's Twitter account ((at)papaxristoutj) contains several
retweets and postings of YouTube videos promoting the views of Golden Dawn,
a formerly marginal extreme right party that entered the Greek Parliament
in the recent two national elections — in May and June this year — by
polling almost 7 percent of the vote.

But it was her attempt at a joke Sunday that went viral. Commenting on the
widely reported appearance of Nile-virus-carrying mosquitoes in Athens,
Papachristou wrote: "With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile
mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!". Her tweet prompted thousands of
negative comments that snowballed Wednesday.

Since anyone can access an unprotected Twitter account, Papachristou's
YouTube links and retweets inevitably became known. Several of her retweets
were original tweets by Ilias Kasidiaris, the Golden Dawn spokesman and one
of the party's 18 Parliament members, who became notorious a few weeks ago
for striking a woman Communist MP in the face and throwing water at another
female MP during a TV talk show. Papachristou tweeted to Kassidiaris on his
name day, last Friday, "Many happy years, be always strong and true!!!"

Papachristou's initial reaction to the negative comments, on Tuesday, was
to tweet: "That's how I am. I laugh. I am not a CD to get stuck!!! And if I
make mistakes, I don't press the replay! I press Play and move on!!!"

Her attitude changed completely Wednesday and she has posted five
apologetic tweets in less than two hours. The last tweet, a very long one
in English, which she has also posted on her Facebook account, reads: "I
would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and
tasteless joke I published on my personal Twitter account. I am very sorry
and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to
offend anyone, or to encroach human rights.

"My dream is connected to the Olympic Games and I could not possibly
participate if I did not respect their values. Therefore, I could never
believe in discrimination between human beings and races. I would like to
apologize to all my friends and fellow athletes, who I may have insulted or
shamed, the National Team, as well as the people and companies who support
my athletic career. Finally, I would like to apologize to my coach and my
family."

Before the publication of the last tweet, Democratic Left, one of the three
parties in Greece's coalition government, had published a statement
assailing the "racist humor" and calling on the Hellenic Olympic Committee
to expel Papachristou from the Olympics

"Let her make any miserable 'jokes' on social media while watching the
games on TV. She definitely cannot represent Greece in London," the
Democratic Left statement said.
