The Finnish Olympic Committee announced on Wednesday that racing sailor
Janne Järvinen, who has been sentenced to prison, will not represent Finland at this summer's Tokyo Olympics. However, it did not directly cite his conviction as the reason for dropping him for the team.
In late March, Järvinen and his sailing partner
Sinem Kurtbay secured a berth for Finland in the Nacra 17 class for the Tokyo Games.
The committee has instead decided that Kurtbay will compete at the Games with a former sailing partner,
Akseli Keskinen. They competed together at last year's World Championships, placing ninth.
