Many International athletes have denied to come to Delhi and yet another major blow to the Delhi Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2010 in terms of international participation, three time Olympic gold medallist swimmer, Stephanie Rice has dropped out from the event due to an injury.The ace Australian swimmer has been struggling with a problem in her right shoulder since Mar 2010. She has decided to give the CWG 2010, which kick starts on Oct 3, a miss to undergo a surgery.

The 22-year-old has also been ruled out of the ongoing Pan Pacific Championships in California. She, now, hopes to recover from her injury before the 2012 London Olympics.“It’s very disappointing, the Melbourne Commonwealth Games was a fantastic event to be part of, and for me personally, and I was really looking forward to the colour and excitement of Delhi,” an emotional Rice told the Swimming Australia website.

“To not be able to compete at 100 per cent here at the Pan Pans has been hard enough, but to make the decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth Games has been very difficult. “It’s the right decision long-term though, because the sooner I can get the shoulder looked at properly and have the surgery done, the sooner I can get back in the pool, training at 100 per cent,” added the Beijing gold medallist in the 200 and 400m individual medley, and 4x200m freestyle relay.

Rice adds to the long list of athletes, who have already decided to give the Delhi Games a miss. Earlier, tennis ace, Samantha Stosur decided to skip the tennis debut of Commonwealth Games.Before Stosur, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, Olympic champion Victoria Pendleton and World heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis had announced their withdrawal.

Delhi's death trap : Commonwealth Games 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 11:05:00 +0000

The Commonwealth Games 2010 are the biggest sports events to ever be held in the country. But the CNN-IBN special investigation team finds that the nation's pride could turn into an ecological embarrassment.

The 118 acre Commonwealth Games village is under construction on the floodplains of the Yamuna, in spite of warnings that the construction will endanger lives.

Activist, Yamuna Jiye Abhiyan, Manoj Mishra says, "Any construction, especially a multi-storey construction on the riverbed is an invitation to disaster. It is like a deathtrap."The Yamuna has a history of flooding. It’s the floodplain that acts as a buffer and prevents flooding in populated areas. Construction there would also mean a reduction in groundwater levels, worsening Delhi's drinking water crisis.

Ecologist, MC Mehta informs, "The groundwater situation in Delhi is so critical that some of the blocks in Delhi have been declared as critical areas or dark spots. Saline water has also started coming in because there is no sweet water, so where is the water?"

Adding to that is the fact the Yamuna flood-plains also sit on a seismically active area. Manoj Mishra tells us, “There is a seismic map of Delhi. It's the river bed that sits on the fault line."

Experts say that suggestions for alternative sites such as the unused Safdarjung aerodrome or the already-standing Jasola Sports Complex have been ignored by the Delhi Government.

Hydrology expert, IIT Delhi, Prof AK Gosain says, "There are a lot of possible sites in and around Delhi. I don't think that the concerned authorities have really looked at any of those alternative proposals and sites. On the contrary, they have suggested that the most dangerous one on the floodplains of the Yamuna."

Hotel owners in Paharganj in Delhi are up in arms against the government and the Commonwealth Games (CWG) organisers.
The hotel owners have threatened to boycott the CWG, if the government does not offer them any help. This could create a huge crisis as the area has close to 30,000 low-budget hotel rooms, which are a huge hit with backpackers from around the world.

"All we are telling the government is that when they can spend Rs 140 crore to upgrade and renovate the Ashoka Hotel, why can't they help the hotels here, which will be hosting a majority of the visitors to the city," said Arun Gupta, secretary general of the Delhi Hotel
Mahasangh.
"We are not asking the government to dole out free money, all we want is some subsidy and some low interest loans so that we can carry out renovation, make it aesthetic and upgrade facilities in our hotels," added Gupta

"Frontage of most hotels could be made better and aesthetic. If the foreigners come here and are happy, will it not be good for the country and the government's image? Besides not all hotels require help, only 35 per cent of them actually need support from the government," said Gupta.
