This article, Poland send six swimmers home after selecting too many by mistake, describes the rather horrible situation where the Polish Swimming Federation sent more swimmers than were allowed. Six swimmers had to return and the president of the federation apologized. From the article: One of the six athletes Alicja Tchorz, who represented Poland at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, expressed her anger at the mistake on social media. "Imagine dedicating five years of your life and striving for another start at the most important sporting event, giving up your private life and work, sacrificing your family and your dedication results in a total flop," she wrote on Facebook. Another of the six, Mateusz Chowaniec, said on Instagram: "I'm deeply shocked by what happened. This is an absurd situation for me that should never have happened. In fact, I hope to wake up from this nightmare eventually." The majority of the Poland swimming team have signed an open letter to the PZP calling for the board to resign over the incident.
