    Six swimmers have returned to Warsaw after being excluded from the Polish team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to what was described as procedural errors in the submission process.

    Jan Hołub, Alicja Tchórz, Aleksandra Polańska, Dominika Kossakowska, Bartosz Piszczorowicz and Mateusz Chowaniec were originally named to the Polish lineup as relay-only swimmers, but they were mistakenly entered by the Polish Swimming Federation (PZP) into the individual competition, for which a formal invitation from the International Swimming Federation (FINA) is required, news outlets reported.

    Tokyo 2020 sponsor Toyota will not run Olympics-related TV commercials amid lacklustre public support for the Olympics, with two-thirds of Japanese doubting organisers can keep the Games safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a local media poll.

    Chief Executive Officer of Toyota Motor Corp, Akio Toyoda, and other executives will not attend the opening ceremony either, Toyota said on Monday.

    “It is true that Toyota will not be attending the opening ceremony, and the decision was made considering various factors including no spectators,” a spokesperson said.
