Ukrainian tennis player withdraws from the Paris Olympics after catching a cold

Associated Press  

PARIS — Ukrainian tennis player Anhelina Kalinina withdrew from the Paris Games because she caught a cold following rainy weather in France’s capital, her country’s Olympic committee said. “Unfortunately, we spent a long time on the courts yesterday waiting for the competition to start,” Kalinina said Sunday in a statement from the Ukrainian committee. “It was raining all this time and this morning I felt a sore throat.” During the opening ceremony Friday, athletes from around the world paraded on boats as heavy rain fell, soaking their uniforms. Kalinina was to start competing Saturday, but rain forced tennis competitions on open courts to be rescheduled to Sunday.
