A Greek triple jumper has made an early exit from the Olympic games before they have even begun after posting a mocking message on Twitter joking about Africans.

Voula Papachristou has been kicked off of Greece's team for making "statements contrary to the values and ideas of the Olympic movement," the Hellenic Olympic Committee said Wednesday, according to a Washington Post report.

In the controversial tweet that was meant as a joke, Papachristou wrote: "With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!" Her comments quickly went viral and prompted thousands of negative responses that has since snowballed.

Along with the "tasteless joke" , Papachristou’s Twitter account contains several retweets and postings of YouTube videos promoting the views of Golden Dawn, a formerly marginal extreme right party that entered the Greek Parliament in the recent two national elections — in May and June this year — by polling almost 7 percent of the vote.
