For years the CWG committee were crying hoarse regarding the delays in construction of the games facilities in Delhi. It fell on deaf years, until 3 weeks before alarms bells started ringing and international humiliation by the british press that things started moving on. (Singapore organized the first Youth Olympic Games in two and a half years, a month ago). The opening ceremony may have been indeed spectacular, specially the helium inflation, but than such lavish displays have been also shown in tiny places such as Macau which hosted 3 games (East Asia, Lusofonia and Indoor Games) in a span of 5 years.
Kalamadi and co should stop opening his loud mouth but rather hang his head in shame as to the preparation of the games, the Asian Games to be held on the 27th of Nov in Guangzhou, China (http://www.gz2010.cn/en/) is already ready. Again tiny Macau with a population of half a million is host to a yearly Motor Grand Prix, International Marathon, International Women's Volleyball, International Badminton tournament, Table Tennis Pro Tour, Rado Bank International Hockey, Golf, tops clubs from EPL and Primera Liga play exhibition matches etc. Sports facilities are used by International teams for acclimatization before disembarking to countries for competition. Kalamadi and co must refrain from using fake adjectives such as shining and incredible when the reality is totally different, instead work quietly and get things done if they want a place on the world map.
