Russian seals Olympic spot in Germany despite visa rejection

The weekend attack on a center-left politician in eastern Germany has been widely condemned. But insults, threats and attempts at intimidation have long been a part of campaigning.

As the Olympic torch reaches French soil this Wednesday, we look at the kinds of opportunities the relay will offer sponsors over the course of 68 different stages, potentially reaching 90 percent of the French population. Of course, the relay pales in comparison to the billions of people who will tune in to watch the actual Games.
