Biggest Commonwealth Games kicks off in Delhi

[Zeluvaa]

If China, Russia and USA were part of the Common Wealth and did participate in the Games then how many Gold Medals would India get ?

China, Russia and USA are not part of the Common Wealth nations, so your question is invalid. Besides countries like Canada, U.K., Australia are no weaklings when it comes to sports, yet India is at quite a good position in the table.

This is a good medium for Indian athletes to learn, compete and grow against international athletes. And these games will hopefully open eyes of India public to pay attention to sports other than cricket. And when this happens, we will perform better on the world stage, which I believe will happen soon.

Btw, if the competition is so weak, then please tell me what are Pakistani athletes doing, they're anywhere but near the top.

He is facing everything from mis-Mangaement to a Corruption investigation.

The games could only happen due to last minute intervention by Dehli government and the PM office , cabinet ministers and Military officials.

Even if the games are successful Khalmadi should not be off the hook

The root of all evil was - corruption !!!
Khalmadi was just doing his job and he can't control every single thing that was related to corruption. India should punish all those people who who made big bucks organizing the CWG. I mean punish those who were involved in corruption.

Still more than what you can get!

And it was pure stupidity on your part to think of these countries in "COMMONWEALTH GAMES"

India already lost her credibility from the start! The opening is acceptable and could she maintain it to the end?

I accept the comments..but please dont address India as 'She'.India is much more a 'he'...even 'it' is acceptable. Whats China? He? She?

Aussie grappler disqualified for obscene gesture

New Delhi: Australian wrestler Hassene Fkiri was disqualified Tuesday for making an obscene gesture to the judges in the Commonwealth Games 96kg Greco-Roman final, his coach said.

Fkiri, who would have picked up a silver medal, refused to shake hands with Anil Kumar after losing to his Indian opponent, and moments earlier had shown his middle finger to the judges.

Australian coach Kuldi Bassi said: "I didn't actually see anything myself but someone else told me he saw it.

"He's a very nice person normally. He's very good, win or lose. He wasn't unhappy at all (before the fight) -- he was happy to be representing his country.The Indian (Kumar) upset him a bit and was pulling his neck. I told him that was what was going to happen and I think he just lost control. It's very sad and it's bad for the country."
Organisers of the competition were not immediately available for comment.

Khalmadi was the ring leader for this corruption.

Look at his track record. We all dreaded this from the moment he was made head of OC.

India may have corruption.

But Metro was completed
And Air port was completed , early
Buses were ready , roads were ready.

Delhi local government did that.

Sure even they messed up their prep with Having some of the cites Beautification projects still on going but they did all the crucial stuff well ahead of time.

Corruption is common theme in the sub-continent everyone lives with it. But some babu's don't even have the common courtesy to their jobs.

They want to loot and run leaving someone else to hold up the nations pants.

Conventionally, all countries and ships are addressed as 'she'. There are obvious exceptions, like the Vaterland.
