Qatar Olympic Committee Secretary General Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani met Saturday with British Olympic Association Chair Sebastian Coe.

The National Olympic Committee of Cambodia is set to sign a memorandum of understanding with local beverage company Cambrew on Wednesday that will see medal winners at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games in Myanmar this December "bank sizable cash bonuses."
