World media slams 'blunder-prone' Commonwealth Games

[banti321]

The Australian newspaper has carried a scathing article, headlined, "Games are running on empty: A poorly run event may spell the end of the contest".

Meanwhile, The Daily Telegraph, London, is running a mocking series, "What's wrong in Delhi today?" The strapline says, "Empty stands, blocked lavatories, collapsing scoreboards, vomiting swimmers and striking officials, it's been a shocking few days for CWG organizers".

The Australian says, "In science, it's known as the observer effect: the act of observing will influence the phenomenon being observed. But, as the Commonwealth Games could soon discover, the same might also hold true for a phenomenon not being observed. The Delhi Games are barely being watched."

Canada's highest circulation newspaper, Toronto Star, has a report saying, "Commonwealth Games' latest bug: Concerns pool making swimmers sick".

Two comments published in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper's website best sum up the mood abroad. One of them says, "We should leave this toilet bowl and come home!" Another one goes, "Yikes...And these clowns have nukes!."

South Africa's Mail and Guardian report quotes Australia's chef de mission Steve Moneghetti  complaining about the opening ceremony. "We were treated like cattle. It was disgraceful," he said adding that his athletes were forced to wait in searing heat before they appeared.
