It’s not a good start for Indian team in 2012 London Olympic Games as the team has got itself drawn into a controversy after a mysterious woman was found to be marching along with it during the Opening ceremony. The woman is seen walking confidently with Sushil Kumar the Flag Bearer at the Olympics Parade. Nobody knows about her. All men among the 81 strong Indian contingent wore traditional blazers and Rajasthani yellow turbans while the female atheletes wore yellow sarees. The mystery woman dressed unusually in red T-Shirt and blue trousers. Most of the Indian supporters are agitated to see a person who was not part of the delegation was allowed to accompany the team and hog the limelight in the process.
The Indians have fielded 81 athletes, the largest ever in the history of the Games, but only 40 athletes and around 11 officials participated in the parade at the opening ceremony, which showcased Great Britain’s rich heritage combined with dazzling fireworks and stunning visual effects.
“She had no business to walk in with the Indian contingent and we are taking up the issue with the organisers. We don’t know who she is and why she was allowed to walk in. It is a shame that she was with the athletes in the march past”, Indian official Brig PK Muralidharan Raja.

Madhura Nagendra, the mysterious woman, who gatecrashed into the Indian Olympic contingent’s march past at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, on Thursday regretted the incident, saying “it was an error of judgement” on her part. She also clarified that she had not done any security breach as she entered the stadium with permission.

Madhura Nagendra.. a confident girl.. I like her.
@Tahir: Confident? Hardly. The woman took down her Olympic Pass when the whole issue became controversial. If she was indeed the condifent girl you think she is, then that was not the way to go. I saw her apology on TV thereafter. Seriouly, parroting an “I-Am-Sorry-I-Was-Just-Fooling-Around” is the flimsient solution to get away with something so shameless as stealing other’s thunder. The woman is an arrogant idiot, and a slap on her face is the least one can do to electrocute her back to her senses (if at all any such thing exists).
