LONDON - Sports news in brief from around the world: Olympics - Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar will be among 35 Indian athletes who will carry the Olympic torch during the relay in the national capital New Delhi on April 17, the Indian Olympic Association said.

Ex-400 metres runner Milkha Singh, India's best known track athlete, former All-England badminton champion Pullela Gopichand and long jumper Anju Bobby George are among those who have confirmed their participation.

The route will be shortened from that planned due to security concerns following protests against China's response to Tibet. - Reuters
