In response, earlier this week, United States runner Nick Symmonds dedicated his world 800m silver medal to his gay and lesbian friends, while Swedish high jumper Emma Green-Tregaro painted her fingernails in the colours of the rainbow flag. Speaking in English at a news conference, Isinbayeva had said of Green-Tregaro's actions.

It's disrespectful to our country, disrespectful to our citizens because we are Russians. Maybe we are different than European people and people from different lands. We have our law which everyone has to respect. When we go to different countries, we try to follow their rules. We are not trying to set our rules over there. We are just trying to be respectful. We consider ourselves, like normal, standard people, we just live boys with women, girls with boys. It comes from the history. I hope the problem won't ruin our Olympic Games in Sochi.

At the summit, Ms Gillard issued a short statement,
My father, John Gillard, passed away this morning in Adelaide. He has battled illness in recent years but his death is a shock for me and my family. Dad lived a long and full life...He taught me to be passionate about fairness. He taught me to believe in Labor and in trade unionism. But above all, he taught me to love learning and to understand its power to change lives. He always regretted his family background meant he had not proceeded on to higher education as a young man. He was determined that I had the opportunities he was denied. I will miss him for the rest of my life''.

Phrases from the Quran appear ’spontaneously’ on baby’s skin: Baby (Quran Baby) is making news in Russia after phrases from the Quran began appearing on his skin.
Verses from the Quran – the Muslim holy book are said to appear on nine-month-old Ali Yakubov’s back, arms, legs and stomach – before apparently fading away and being replaced with new sayings.
Russian medics claimed they are puzzled over the cause of the marks on a baby’s skin, which started when the word Allah apparently appeared on his chin within weeks of his birth.
Medics deny that the marks are from someone writing on the child’s skin.
His mother, Madina, said that she and her husband were not religious until the writings started appearing on his skin.
