Bolt backed for London 2012

Despite recent injuries, Dawes is confident world record holder Bolt will be in peak condition as he attempts to retain both individual titles and help Jamaica keep their 4 x 100m crown.

"He's back fully," Dawes said. "He has been training very, very hard and his performance is on track.

"We expect he'll be fully fit by the time the Olympics come around."

Dawes believes Bolt and sprint rival Yohan Blake could reach new heights inLondon for the Jamaican team.

"Both of them are at the top of their game.

"If the conditions are ideal, then we are going to see something fantastic. We may see records go.

"They are 100% fit and 100% raring to go. They are mentally fit and they are going to be going all out."

First up for Bolt will be the men's 100m's on 4 August in the Olympic Stadium, with his defence of the 200m title starting three days later on 7 August. The men's 4 x 100m Relay starts on 10 August.

Honduras fight back to draw

A Morocco team that was reduced to 10 men held on for a 2-2 draw at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

With World and European champions Spain to come later in Group D, both sides wanted to get off to a good start and that resulted in a relatively cagey opening with few clear-cut chances.

The Africans had the better of the opening period and went ahead seven minutes before half-time thanks to a sweetly struck volley from Abdel Barrada.

Honduras responded excellently after the break though and were level on 55 minutes when Bengtson tapped home Maynor Figueroa's shot from close range.

Bengtson then scored again from the penalty spot, but the lead only lasted two minutes before Zakaria Labyad equalised with a scooped effort that eluded Jose Mendoza.

Zakarya Bergdich was shown a red card for kicking out at Mario Martinez with 19 minutes remaining but Honduras could not take advantage of their extra man and the points were shared.

Honduras manager Luis Suarez was happy with how his side performed in the second half.

'In the first-half we weren't at our best, but in the second we were much quicker, we moved the ball much better and always in the Olympics Honduras shows its best face.

'When the result is a draw it is normally a fair result and Morocco were tactically very good as Japan and Spain will be. However, we are also a very difficult team to beat.'

Archers Ready For Action in Olympics

All 128 archers - 64 men and 64 women - will shoot in a preliminary ranking round that determines seedings for the Individual and Team events.

The men's ranking round begins at 9am.

All archers had a chance to familiarise themselves with the venue on Wednesday, getting their only opportunity to shoot in the elimination range before the knockout matches get under way.

After his own practice session, Great Britain's Simon Terry said: 'We hope (being the Host Nation) brings us an advantage, but we're just going to keep our cool out there.'

London 2012 Tennis draw pits Falla against Federer

The Swiss star, who has been named as the top seed in the men's Singles tournament, will be hoping to continue his run of success on the courts of the All England Club when the action begins on Saturday.


On paper, he will be the favourite to progress, but Federer will be wary of the world number 51, who he nearly lost to in the first round of Wimbledon in 2010.


Also in Federer's half of the draw are 10th seed John Isner of the USA, eighth-seeded Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro and fourth seed David Ferrer, the leading Spaniard in the absence of the injured Rafael Nadal, the gold medallist from Beijing 2008.


Great Britain's Andy Murray has been handed an extremely tough first-round match against Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka - the world number 26, who he has lost to four times in 10 meetings, including in the third round of the US Open two years ago.


The pair also had a very close battle under the roof at Wimbledon in the fourth round in 2009, with Murray eventually winning in five sets.


Novak Djokovic will face Italy's Fabio Fognini in the first round and could ultimately meet French fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a potential quarter-final clash.


In the women's Singles, top seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus will face Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu in round one, while second seed and Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland meets big-hitting German Julia Goerges.


Wimbledon champion Serena Williams is seeded fourth and faces former world number one Jelena Jankovic from Serbia in a standout first-round clash, with sister Venus taking on ninth seed Sara Errani from Italy.


Both Williams sisters are in Azarenka's half of the draw, while in the bottom half, third seed Maria Sharapova faces Israel's Shahar Peer in round one.


In the men's Doubles, Andy and Jamie Murray will play Austrian pair Jurgen Melzer and Alexander Peya, while defending champions Wawrinka and Federer take on Japan's Kei Nishikori and Go Soeda.


Top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan of the USA face Thomaz Bellucci and Andre Sa of Brazil.


In the women's Doubles, top seeds Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond of the USA were given a bye while defending champions the Williams sisters are unseeded and will take on Sorana Cirstea and Simona Halep of Romania in round one.

Sachin Tendulkar to BMW’s maiden brand ambassador

Whenever it comes to excellence, only a few names come up to demonstrate the dominance in their respective fields. The case is same with BMW and Sachin Tendulkar too. The carmaker has always excelled in whatever it brings into the market, while the latter needs no introduction for his contribution and success in the world of cricket. Now both the names are coming together in a spirit of partnership.

As per latest reports, the legendary cricketer will soon be signed as the maiden brand ambassador of the German giant. Anticipations are high that the signing will be done during the official launch of the F30-3 Series on 27th July. In fact, the signing is just not what is being speculated. The carmaker has few more stuffs too stocked in the box. Sachin will be presenting the keys of the first hundred 2012 3-Series to its buyers.

The legend is already associated with many other leading brands. Thus, his endorsement of BMW will certainly not be the first prominent brand for him. In fact, he is associated with brands like Adidas, Boost, Castrol, Coco-Cola and many more. It’s nothing but the brand name he owns within himself that makes him too appealing to be resisted for the brands. Moreover, his clean and controversy-free image and personality always takes his name and respect for him to a newer level.

On the other hand, BMW too, doesn’t need any introduction for its name. For the Bavarian brand, it’s just its name that does all for it. The carmaker has a record of having no brand ambassador yet. Now the luxury car brand is looking forward to bring in another factor with its models and its unparalleled driving experience; the Sachin-factor. The carmaker has already earned its value in the country after its models, like the BMW 3-Series, X1 and even 5-Series, did pretty well in the market.
