Smallest squad

GERMANY will field its smallest Olympic team since the country's reunification in 1990 at this month's London Games after nominating 391 athletes, the German Olympic Sports Confederation said. The Germans, long an Olympic powerhouse, will send a team of 217 men and 174 women, excluding 16 alternate athletes, to London for the July 27-August 12 Games. Germany sent 449 athletes to the 2004 Athens Games and 428 athletes to Sydney four years earlier. "Now the team is complete," said DOSB pesident Thomas Bach. "The qualifying results allow us to travel to London with optimism and confidence."
