CWG Federation General Assembly commends OC's efforts ahead | | Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly on Saturday unanimously passed a resolution commending the efforts of
Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi's Organising Committee (OC) to get things ready for the celebrations of the opening ceremony on Sunday. CGF President Mike Fennell
moved a resolution, "praising the Organising Committee" for bringing things under
control before the arrival of the athletes and "brining the Games back to the
highest degree of excellence." The resolution was passed unanimously and greeted
with applause. The Commonwealth Games Associations (CGAs) of the 71 nations and
territories taking part in Delhi 2010, especially appreciated the efforts in readying
the Games Village for use by the 6800 athletes and team officials. On this occasion
Fennell said that this would be the largest Games in the history of the Commonwealth
Games, surpassing the participation in Melbourne 2006 by over one thousand. The
CGAs noted that that the athletes were enjoying the facilities in the Village
and stated that they were highly satisfied with the catering at the Games Village
and the facilities for training. They also noted that most of the things, including
technology, are in place for the smooth and successful conduct of the Games. Organising
Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi, on this occasion, said that he was thankful
to the CGF and the CGAs for their unstinted support. "The fact that we will have
the participation of 6800 athletes and team officials from all 71 nations and
territories indicates the love they have for India," he said. "We are on course
to deliver the Games successfully and smoothly," said Kalmadi. Meanwhile, the
organising committee made a presentation focussing on the technical conduct of
the Games, venue operations, village operations, sports equipment, international
technical officials and celebrations in the city. It was well-received by the
members of the General Assembly.
