New Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010.

So your saying this is good for India in the long run because next time they'll pull their finger out of their ass and get things right?

I think that could work, but I don't think the Olympic commitee would take that risk now.

Kind of. The unbelievable corruption in our sporting bodies has got brazenly exposed only because of the CWG, and the government will have to action sooner or later only because of the CWG. It has injected some much needed vitality into our rotten sporting administration.

I think that could work, but I don't think the Olympic commitee would take that risk now.

Well, no matter what happens, the Olympics won't be coming here before 2024 or 2028 as we've cancelled our bid for the 2020 one. Don't you think it's enough time to get things sorted out and put up a decent show? I'm sure the Olympic commitee reposes that much faith in India.

I think, before bidding for another mammoth sporting event, we should try to bring something like the Asian Games to this country and send out a clear message that India too can host events with a great deal of success. That will surely go a long way in boosting our image which has been dented by the CWG disaster. The Asiad needs to be eyed as a coming out party for us and the necessary preparations need to start ASAP.

And, like I said, the government has already started clamping down on those responsible for the mess:

They won't give it to India unless you can successfully put on an event of a pretty big scale without any problems. It's no use just saying that you've learnt your lesson when there isn't any evidence of that.

 

[Covvy]

It's gonna be very hard now though. The only other major event you guys will probably hold would be the Cricket world cup.

 

[pcfan123]

and it will be a smashing success no doubt. Weird how there is such a huge difference in the ability to organize cricket tournaments and any other sport. Perhaps the BCCI should govern all sport in the country

 

[Themer]

Hell no they'd end up with 20m sprints because the 100m is too long and boring

 

[CG123]

It's good to see three out of the six people in the lead group in the road race being New Zealanders.
It's very doubtful, but hopefully they can hold on and we can do a clean sweep of the medals.

What a pathetic race. It was all New Zealand for 3 hours straight, we done everything, then at the end we flinged up.

We'll probably finish with 100 4ths 50 Silvers and 2 golds.

 

[CG123]

The men's one is on now, and that's what I was talking about.

The women's one was BS though, we dominated the race, and the ****en Aussie's just steal two out of the three medals at the end.

I'm pretty sure we've got the most 4th's at these games though, it'd be really good to see the stats.

Kenya are owning up on the track! they already have 5 golds 3 silver/bronze.

btw it feels like we're doing worse than last time even though we have more silver and bronze medals.

 

[CG123]

I don't even remember any of the last games...
I don't remember anything about Melbourne, and really don't even remember anything about the Beijing Olympics.

Oh, cyclings bored me enough for one day

I saw that match was so stupid. We did all the work during the race then come fourth

Kenya actually got a gold in the pool this year

I think we have a habit of always coming fourth in the commonwealth games because it happened last time too.

He wasn't actually a native.
