Thursday Sports Wrap – Mystery Woman Crashed Opening Ceremony, Is Sorry

NEW DELHI (AP) – India’s Olympic mystery woman has apologized for gatecrashing the opening ceremony in London and walking at the head of her country’s confused delegation.

Madhura Nagendra told India’s NDTV news channel she made an “error in judgment” when she marched alongside Indian flag-bearer Sushil Kumar at the head of the delegation of 40 athletes.

Her Olympic cameo infuriated Indian officials who demanded an explanation of how she was allowed into the parade of athletes.

Nagendra said she was part of the opening ceremony cast and did not breach security. She said she got caught up in the chaos and excitement of the moment and ended up leading the delegation around the stadium.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) – The new owner of the Cleveland Browns is watching his first practice.

Tennessee truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam III walked to the middle of the field Friday with team president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert for his first glimpse at what $1 billion can buy. Haslam was wearing shorts on a hot, humid morning.

Randy Lerner reached a deal Thursday to sell the club to Haslam, a minority stockholder in the rival Steelers. Haslam must divest his interest in the Steelers and also gain approval for the purchase from the NFL.

Haslam promised Lerner the franchise won’t be relocated. Haslam arrived in Cleveland late Thursday and dined with Holmgren.
