Kuwait was also suspended during 2010 YOG. Back then their team was officially called "Athletes from Kuwait".

Very weird, something like 12 athletes had to withdraw for him to get invited. Maybe it's another Greek mistake.

 

And one of the athletes that is in front of Greek is Slovakian javelin thrower. I'm sure hckosice would post as soon as he could if he got invited.

With new 2 wildcards in swimming (Kristel Vourna and Dimitrios Dimitriou) and 1 in archery (Evangelia Psarra) Greece have 91 athletes.

Why archery? And Kristel Vourna shouldn't be chosen because she failed to achieve the required FINA A-cut in the 100 m butterfly.
