ATHENS (Reuters) - Danish mountain biker Mette Andersen had to pull out of the women's Olympic cross country race Friday after being attacked by a bee.

Anderson was stung on the second lap of the five-lap race and had a bad reaction, the whole of the left side of her chest swelling up.

She was receiving medical attention at the course on Mount Parnitha, just north of Athens.
