Commonwealth Games 2010 in crisis
The Commonwealth Games 2010 is being held in India in less than two weeks and the stories coming out about the athletes accomodation, the sports facilities, security arrangements are very worrying if they expect the games to go ahead.
The main visitors bridge collapsed while being assembled killing injuring 27 people and a portion of the weightlifters arena roof has caved in. Not to mention, the flooding and filth in the athletes quarters. The area seems to have been built on a flood plain and the worst monsoon rains for years have conspired. Several athletes who would have been competing have backed out and I don't blame them.
If India was trying to set an example, their claim was to rival the Beijing olympics, then they have failed miserably. Its a shame because the last two games went well and Manchester did very nicely out of hsoting it in 2002.
