Falklands Olympic ad not a provocation: Argentina

[Zorro]

Argentina on Saturday said that a TV spot filmed in the Falklands with an Argentine athlete competing in the 2012 London Summer Olympics was not meant to be a provocation.

"I hope not, I really hope not, because this is not meant to be a provocation," said Alicia Castro, Argentina's ambassador to Britain, in an interview with the daily El Tribuno.

The ad shows Argentina hockey captain Fernando Zylberberg running through the Falklands capital Stanley, and exercising on the town's Great War Memorial, which honors British sailors who died in World War I.

The ad carries the tagline: "To compete on English soil, we train on Argentine soil."
