England & Russia embroiled in 2018 World Cup bid spat. The war of words over the right to host the 2018 World Cup has intensified after a senior Russian official called England "absolutely primitive".Viacheslav Koloskov, a former Fifa and Uefa executive committee member, made the comment after England complained that Russia broke bidding rules. England's official complaint followed widely reported quotes from Russia's bid leader Alexey Sorokin about London. Fifa's committee meets on Thursday to receive reports on the 2018 bids.
Usain Bolt has said he has recovered from the injuries, which forced him to rest for the last few months. The sprinter cut short his season on 10 August - four days after losing to Tyson Gay over 100m in Stockholm. But the triple Olympic champion, 24, is back in training and intends to defend his 100m and 200m World titles at the 2011 World Championships in Korea.
