Iran has indicated it will attend the 2012 Olympics in London, despite complaining that the Games logo resembles the word "Zion".Last month the Iranians complained to the International Olympic Committee and called for the graphic to be replaced. They objected on the grounds that its resemblance to the word Zion - a Biblical term for Israel - was racist.
But now the Iranian-backed Press TV has quoted an official as saying Iranians will "participate gloriously".
Well, they'll be there anyways...
At the time, IOC president Jacques Rogge told BBC Sport: "No, it can't be serious. We will quietly reply, telling [Iran] the logo has nothing to do with racism or any political connotation."
The complaint was also dismissed by Prime Minister David Cameron, who said the Iranians would not be missed if they did not attend.Cameron said: "It's completely paranoid. If the Iranians don't want to come, don't come - we won't miss you."
Hmmmmm...don't think that's the response they wanted.
