Athletics: Star athletes skip Mozambique

MAPUTO: The 10th All-Africa Games will see world-class swimmers competing in Mozambique but prominent athletes like 'Blade runner' Oscar Pistorius will probably miss the four-yearly multi-sport championships. Although delegates have praised the southern African country for its sports facilities and accommodation, events like the World Athletics Championships in South Korea and a Diamond League meet in Zurich later this month drew away many top men and women.
