DELHI 2010
At the CGF Assembly in November 2003 Delhi won the right to host the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Delhi is the capital of India and has a population of approximately 13.8 million. 2010 will be only the second time that an Asian country has hosted the Games, with Kuala Lumpur being the first in 1998.

The 2010 games were held from 3-14 October. There will be 17 sports on the program for Delhi, these include; Archery, Aquatics, Athletics, Badminton, Boxing, Cycling, Gymnastics, Hockey, Lawn Bowls, Netball, Rugby 7s, Shooting, Squash, Table Tennis, Tennis, Weightlifting and Wrestling. The program also included Elite Athletes with a Disability (EAD) Events. New and existing venues were used to host the 17 sports. Delhi also saw the construction of a new low rise development in the heart of the capital for the athletes village. The village is on 40 acres and had the capacity to host approximately 8,500 athletes and officials.

The village was not completed in time for all athlete's to move into their rooms when they first arrived, some chose not to attend, some chose alternate accommodation.  The lead up to the games demonstrated the high level of corruption, and shoddy workmanship associated with that corruption, in India.  Some engineering marvels were also completed, to balance the view.

Some athletes chose not to attend the games because of a perception that the risk of terrorism was too high.  Numerous bodyguards and travel companions were deployed to assist with risk reduction for the traveling public.

The assessed risk was High to Extreme.  Some analysts placed the probability of a terrorist incident at more than 80%.  However, to give the Indian administration their due, no such incidents closely associated with the games occurred.  The games were a success, however, the perception of risk also meant the games were poorly attended.  Perception is always more important than reality.

Excerpts from Australian Government advice re traveling to India for the Commonwealth Games:

You should exercise a high degree of caution in India because of the high risk of terrorist activity. Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.

Terrorist attacks could occur at any time anywhere in India with little or no warning. For more information about security risks, see the travel advice for India. Indian authorities are responsible for security arrangements for the Games and you should follow their instructions.

Expect large crowds and possible delays, and allow plenty of time to purchase tickets and travel to games venues. When you are in India, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Traffic conditions in India can be hazardous. Poorly maintained roads and congestion cause a large number of serious traffic accidents, though the authorities have upgraded Delhi’s road and public transport systems for the Games. You should take care on public transport and when crossing the road. To drive in India you must have a valid Indian driver’s licence or an international driver’s licence with a valid Australian driver’s licence.
