Coe Laughs Off Depression

Lord Coe has laughed off reports that the London Olympic bid team are "in depression"; it is reported that they believe that Paris will win the right to host the Olympics in 2012.

It is reported that a London 2012 board member said:

"Paris is ahead. We expect them to win."

Lord Coe said, in response to this story:

"Paris is clearly a strong contender, but London's in a very strong position...We have six months to go and it's full steam ahead with a very motivated team. We're moving in the right direction."
