Matilda Ekholm will not be at London Olympics

Matilda Ekholm beat Dana Hadakova to win the Doha Olympic Qualification tournament. However, the Swedish Olympic Association denied her a ticket to the London Olympics, thus stirring controversy.

The Swedish Table Tennis Association, Vladimir Samsonov, and ITTF President Adham Sharara got involved and supported Matilda, but the SOA did not relent. So finally, Matilda will be out of the Olympics. What do you think about this case?
