Missing Olympic athlete found

A UGANDAN athlete who fled during pre-Olympics training in western Japan last week has been found and is being interviewed by police, officials have said.

Mie prefectural police in central Japan said 20-year-old weightlifter Julius Ssekitoleko was in Yokkaichi city, 105 miles east of his host town in western Japan. He fled his hotel on Friday, saying he did not want to return to his country.
