Mystery woman walked in London Olympics identified

London : A day after photos of the ‘mystery woman’ walked with Indian athletes in London Olymic’s march past is identified as Madhura Honey, a post-graduate from Bangalore.

Deccan Chronicle, quoting sources, said that her friend from the college was also baffled seeing her with the Indian contingent. She has been living in London and before she went with the Indian team, she had displayed her Olympic passes on her Facebook account. But once this became an issue, she had deactivated her Facebook account.

However, her father on Sunday claimed that his daughter was officially selected for a dance performance by show creator Danny Boyle.

Nagendra said his daughter was practising dance for past many months with all participants selected to perform at the Opening ceremony.

“From whatever I learnt and presume that she being an Indian, the London Olympics Organising Committee might also have selected her to ‘take’ the team inside the stadium. This might have hurt our team’s feelings. I feel very sorry for that,” Nagendra said.

Nagendra said there was no security breach by her daughter as nobody can enter the stadium without security clearance.

Nagendra also said that he was also given passes to watch the show. “I returned yesterday from London and my daughter would reach Bangalore in next couple of days,” he added.
