BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — The Sri Lankan team has asked its athletes and officials at the Commonwealth Games to turn in their passports after three members went missing. Sri Lanka is experiencing a major economic crisis and political tension has triggered protests. The team confirmed that a wrestler, a judoka, and a judo coach have gone missing from one of the Commonwealth Games villages housing athletes and officials. A team spokesperson tells The Telegraph in India that Birmingham police are investigating the absence of the three members. On the track, Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah added a Commonwealth Games gold medal in the 100 meters to her resume.
