Latest news About COMMON WEALTH GAMES

Kalmadi says, Games put Delhi ahead by 10 years...

He feels the world-class infrastructure and the facilities, which have come up for the multi-discipline event, have put the national capital ahead by 10 years. :dry: :dry:

What about the slums present?? Is he not aware of this???

Credit should be given to Indian Army who not only save us 24*7 but also strive to keep our country's pride for the CWG.

:) Thats a very good news ... But don't know the quality of the bridge... :dry:

Listen to what Kalmadi says:

"The biggest legacy of CWG is Olympics. Cricket is the most popular sport in India, but it is played by just 10 countries. Olympics has all sports. We have to ensure that Olympics come up. This is our opportunity and CWG will help," Kalmadi said.

Kalmadi is not feeling enough with the money he looted in CWG it seems. So, aiming more by targetting Olympic games. :P ;)

Yeah --- He is not suited for that post... He looted much amount and wants more... :angry:

Yes, I agree with you Deepti.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge will be the special invitee at the opening ceremony of the Delhi Commonwealth Games here on Sunday, a top Indian Olympic Association (IOA) official said.

CWG an assembly of champions despite pullouts
The absence of some big names not withstanding, the Commonwealth Games starting on Sunday will not be devoid of star attractions as many Olympic and world champion athletes will be seen in action during the 12-day quadrennial event.
Athletics, which is the centre of attraction in any multi-sport event, has been hit the worst by star pull-outs with the likes of three-time world and Olympic gold medallist sprinter Usain Bolt, England's world champion triple jumper Phillips Idowu, Australia's women's discus world champion Dani Samuels, world heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis of England and 800-m women world champion Caster Semeya staying away from the Delhi Games for varied reasons.
Among others who will not be in Delhi are Jamaicans Veronica Campbell-Brown (Olympic 200 m champion), Shelly-Ann Fraser (Olympic 100 m champion)) and former world sprint record holder Asafa Powell.
