gatecrasher
オリンピックの開会式でインド選手団に紛れ込んで行進した謎の女性はインド出身のダンサーと判明しました。
gatecrasherはおなじみの単語ですが，確認しておきますと，"A person who enters into a party or other social event without an invitation, or into a theater or other public performance without a ticket."（Webster）と定義されます。つまり「招かざる客」ならぬ行列への「侵入者」であったわけで，今後，彼女がいかにして選手団に，それも先頭に紛れ込むことができたのかの解明が行われるそうです。（GP）

BANGALORE/LONDON: The mystery woman in red who gatecrashed into the Indian contingent's march past in Friday's Olympics opening ceremony has been identified as Madhura Nagendra of Bangalore, a dancer in one of the segments of Danny Boyle's pageant.
Clad in a red track top, blue pants and sneakers, Madhura marched in the front of the contingent alongside flag-bearer Sushil Kumar, smiling and waving at the cameras, before disappearing midway.
"My daughter was selected for a performance at the inaugural by Danny Boyle," said Madhura's father, K L Nagendra, a leather export entrepreneur based in Bangalore.
Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London organizing committee, confirmed on Sunday that she did not pose a security threat. "I can now confirm she was a cast member. She was slightly over-excited," Coe said.
"She made it into the opening ceremony. She obviously should not have been there," Coe said.
