Argentina wants a provocative 'Falklands are ours' badge at 2012 Olympics

Argentina has proposed sending its athletes to the London Olympics wearing provocative badges declaring the Falklands are Argentine.

It wants an image of the islands to be emblazoned on national team clothing at the Games, which will be held just weeks after Britain commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Falklands conflict.

Athletes’ shirts would also bear the legend ‘Las Islas Malvinas son Argentinas’ – the Falklands Islands are Argentine. Malvinas is the Spanish name for the islands.
