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.
