Ophelia Swayne, Ghana's record holder for fastest swimmer who initially was representing her country, Ghana, in the 2016 Olympics was replaced by a certain Spain-born human who probably haven't been to this country before and currently processing her citizenship just so she could represent our not so well performing country in olympics with her swimming record which isn't even better than Ghana's second fastest swimmer! Help let's affect a change as soon as possible! #OpheliaSwayneForOlympics

Seeing all this momentum is honestly overwhelming and I keep refreshing the page just to make sure I am not dreaming because people actually care about Ophelia getting the shot she earned. It is wild how this took off so fast when I was just sitting at my desk feeling annoyed about the whole situation but look at us now.

I personally find it unfair that someone who raised funds for the swim team and is as qualified as Ophelia is, is being pushed off the team for someone who is not even Ghanaian regardless of qualification. It is unfair and an injustice which needs to be fixed
Let Ophelia who is a citizen of Ghana represent us not somebody who is not from Ghana and has never been to Ghana represent us.
Ophelia Swayne has proven herself to be a very competent swimmer.Replacing her with a girl who's not even known to the Ghanaian public is an insult.

The better of the two must be picked. Obviously it's Ophelia. This is appalling.
All the best!

I fully support you Ophelia. This decision to take you out and put this person in is a mistake. To be honest.
