The Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Delhi ended in great style with India clinching 38 gold medals, its best performance ever in the Games. Indian wrestlers’ and shooters’ gold rush, Indian badminton players’ dream journey to bag a few gold medals, the astounding performances in tennis court and archery arena --- there are many moments in the recently- ended Commonwealth Games that bring delight to any Indian sports lover.
There were many allegations of large scale corruptions levelled against the CWG organising committee headed by Suresh Kalmadi and everyone was skeptical about the possibility of Delhi CWG becoming a huge success. But contrary to the skepticism, the opening ceremony of the Games turned out to be an amazing event, paving way for the mega success of the Games. The programmes and events at the Games village could retain an enhanced spirit and enthusiasm till the last minute of the closing ceremony on October 14.
Even the Western media which were first critical of the Games management have to change their stand. They later came out with positive reports, thanks to all those tried to make the Games a huge success. The Games village was well maintained and it provided many facilities to meet the requirements of sportspersons, visitors, media people and all those came there. The Government of India even provided facilities for sportspersons to avail ayurvedic treatments and massages in the Games village itself. The security forces and the police too carried out their roles perfectly well.
