Kendra Zanotto, a bronze medalist in synchronized swimming from 2004 will not be going to Beijing for 2008 Olympic Games, because her Visa application has been revoked. Chinese government has not specified the reason, but said it was uncomfortable” with some of her affiliations, which likely means that she was shown a finger because she part of Team Darfur.
Kendra Zanotto, Los Gatos, California native was hired to attend the summer Olympics in Beijing as a freelance journalist. Team Darfur she’s affiliated with is a group of athletes started by Joey Cheek – gold medalist in speedskating. The aim of Team Darfur is to draw attention to the crisis in Darfur, Sudan.
Like Kendra Zanotto, Joey Cheek doesn’t have a visa anymore either. He was set to fly to Beijing and Chinese authorities revoked his visa only hours prior to the take off. China simply doesn’t put up with anyone that’s not playing by their rules. Firm hand, I tell ya.
