More than 500 000 people have already registered an interest in buying tickets for the 12-day event, and London 2012 organisers hope to attract a global TV audience of four billion.
Despite much of the action taking place in new venues built for the Olympics, it will be a Paralympics drawing heavily on the symbolism of returning to the country of conception. | | | Monday, 23 August 2010 13:01 | | | Semenya British rival "running against a man" | | 
British woman athlete Diane Cummins, who finished eighth in yesterday’s 800m race at the ISTAF Athletics Meeting in Berlin, has stirred a controversy by saying that racing against South African rival Caster Semenya felt like running against a man. Asked Cummins after the race: “Unfortunately for Caster, she’s grown up in an environment that is complicated not just for her but for human science. Basically, is she man? is she lady? What constitutes male, what constitutes female?
“Even if she is a female, she’s on the very fringe of the normal athlete female biological composition from what I understand of hormone testing. So most of us just feel that we are literally running against a man,” Cummins added. | | | | Friday, 13 August 2010 12:28 | | | SA striker Katlego Mphela still up for Rangers move |  South African striker Katlego Mphela is still praying his dream move to Scottish side Rangers isn't dead.

There had been a possibility that the Intercontinental Cup games against Zimbabwe would take place in South Africa, and there has been no official confirmation of a change of venue and no announcement from Cricket Ireland.
Zimbabwe withdrew from Test cricket in 2006 and were subsequently admitted to the Intercontinental Cup on the understanding that Zimbabwe XI's four home games would be played at neutral venues. | | | |
