開幕式搶鏡：神祕紅衣女子混入印度奧運代表團

LONDON, July 29 (Reuters) - A woman who gatecrashed India's parade at the Olympic opening ceremony was a member of the cast from the extravaganza but should not have been with the athletes, London 2012 chief Sebastian Coe said on Sunday.

Indian officials were incensed by her unauthorised presence alongside flag-bearing wrestler Sushil Kumar on Friday, wearing red and blue in complete contrast to female members of the contingent who were sporting yellow saris and blue blazers.

"She made it into the opening ceremony. She obviously should not have been there," Coe told a news conference.

"I can now confirm that she was a cast member. She was slightly over excited." The apparent lack of security angered the Indian Olympic Association.

"How did they allow her in? It was a security lapse. Nobody knows who she was. She looks like an Indian," IOA vice president Tarlochan Singh told Reuters.

"She walked along in the front line. Her dress was totally different. She was not wearing an identity card. This should have been noticed at an earlier stage, but nobody bothered."

The lavish opening ceremony, which included hundreds of cast members and was hailed around the world as a success, was watched by a packed 60,000-strong crowd in the Olympic stadium. Indian news websites said the woman was a postgraduate student from Bangalore.

Security concerns dogged the run up to the Games with the British government having to draft in thousands of troops to help guard Olympic venues after private contractor G4S said it could not supply enough staff.

"This was bizarre. We will ask for an apology," acting Indian chef de mission PKM Raja was quoted as saying by the Times of India newspaper.

"The Indian contingent was shown for just 10 seconds and to think this lady hogged all the limelight."

【新聞快訊】

北京時間7月29日，據英國媒體路透社報道，開幕式雖然已經過去兩天了，但突然爆出的神祕紅衣女子闖入印度代表隊的新聞卻又引起了不少關注。據印度的相關媒體報道，印度代表團正要求倫敦奧組委道歉。

印度時報報道，印度代表團團長表示：“這一事件在全世界面前侮辱了我們。” 圖片上顯示在週五一名身穿紅色上衣、藍褲子的女子走在印度代表團的旗手摔跤選手庫瑪的旁邊，和代表團身穿紗麗服的印度女運動員形成鮮明的對比。

“她在那幹什麼，這是一個明顯的侵犯。” 印度代表團團長拉吉表示：“我們正在和主辦方溝通這一事件。我們根本不知道她是誰，也不知道她爲什麼會出現在那裏。只有運動員和代表團的官員應該出現在那裏。”

“我們當時吃驚極了，她就那樣走進我們的隊伍，然後和我們一起走。”拉吉接着說：“這太奇怪了。我們要求道歉，整個印度代表團只有十秒鐘展示的時間，而她一個人奪走了所有的焦點。”

29日，倫敦方面給出迴應。倫敦奧組委主席塞巴斯蒂安科爵士說，紅衣女子是來自印度班加羅爾的一名學生，她是在場7500名志願者中的一位。這個意外同英國的奧運安保工作沒有太大關係，她是因情緒激動才走到印度方隊的前列。他表示會將這些信息對印度代表團解釋清楚。

其實，這名闖入者不僅讓印度方面感到憤怒，也讓外界再次質疑這屆奧運會主辦方倫敦的安保能力。英國《獨立報》 29日說，比賽開始前英國警方在紐卡斯爾以及倫敦聖詹姆斯公園再次查出並逮捕3名被安排擔任奧運會安保人員的非法移民。英國內政部的消息證實，這次被發現 的“問題保安”並不是來自此前爆料安保人手不足的私人安保公司G4S，而是另一家公司。這讓外界質疑，在奧運會安保的組織上，究竟還有多少漏洞要彌補。
