2010 Commonwealth Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2010 Commonwealth Games, officially known as

the XIX Commonwealth Games, were held in Delhi, Delhi 2010: XIX Commonwealth
India, from 3 to 14 October 2010. A total of 6,081 Games
athletes from 71 Commonwealth nations and द ल २०१०: १९ व रा म डल खे ल
dependencies competed in 21 sports and 272 events,
making it the largest Commonwealth Games to date. It
was also the largest international multi-sport event to be
staged in Delhi and India, eclipsing the Asian Games in
1951 and 1982. The opening and closing ceremonies
were held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the main
stadium of the event. It was the first time that the
Commonwealth Games were held in India and the second
time it was held in Asia after Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in
1998. The official mascot of the Games was Shera and
the official song of the Games, "Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto",
was composed by celebrated Indian musician A.R.
Rahman.

Preparation for the Games received widespread

international media attention, with criticism being levelled
against the organisers for the slow pace of work, as well
as issues related to security and hygiene. However, all

Bidding
The two principal bids for the 2010 Commonwealth Games were from Delhi, India and Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada. A ballot of members was held in November 2003 at the Commonwealth Games Federation General
Assembly in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Delhi bid won by a margin of 46 votes to 22, confirming India's first
successful bid for the Games. The bid was Canada's attempt to hold the games for the fifth time.[9][10][11] India's
bid motto was New Frontiers and Friendships.[12]

India shifted the balance in its favour in the second round of voting with a promise that it would provide
US$100,000 to each participating country, along with air tickets, boarding, lodging and transport.[13] The
successful 2003 Afro-Asian Games held in Hyderabad was also seen as having showed India has the resources,
infrastructure and technical know-how to stage a big sporting event. India also thanked Latif Butt, former vice
president of the Olympic Council of Asia, for his support in the winning bid, by saying, "You played a vital role
in the Commonwealth Games 2010 being allotted to India. Such actions are worthy of emulation by all
concerned in Pakistan and India. I have no doubt that if both sides continue to live by such ideals, one day,
sooner than later our generations to come will reap the benefits of and be grateful to those making such
contributions. You would certainly be such person."[12] The Indian government stated that it would underwrite
the total cost of the Games.[14]

Organising committee
The organisation of CWG 2010 was beset by delays: in January
2010, the Indian Olympic Association vice-chairman Raja Randhir
Singh expressed concern that Delhi was not up to speed in forming
and organising its games committee and, following a 2009 Indian
Government report showing two thirds of venues were behind
schedule, Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell
stated that the slow progress of preparations represented a serious
OC main building risk to the event.[15] Singh also called for a revamp of the games'
organising committees:[16] Jarnail Singh, a former Secretary of the
Government of India, was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer
and Indian Olympic Association president Suresh Kalmadi was appointed as head of the committee. In spite of
delays and the corruption cases levied on the organisors, commentators stated that they were confident that
India will successfully host the games and do so on time.[17][18]

At the launch of the Queen’s Baton Relay in October 2009, the Business Club of India (BCI) was formed
through the partnership of the organising committee, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). The BCI was formed to both market the
Games and promote Indian business interests internationally.[19]

Costs
The initial total budget estimated by the Indian Olympic Association in 2003 for hosting the Games was
1,620 crore (US$323.19 million). In 2010, however, the official total budget soon escalated to an estimated
11,500 crore (US$2.29 billion), a figure which excluded non-sports-related infrastructure development.[20]
Business Today magazine estimated that the Games cost 60,000 crore (US$11.97 billion).[21] The 2010
Commonwealth Games are reportedly the most expensive Commonwealth Games ever.[22]

flyovers, cloverleaf

built to improve links for

projects have begun with
an emphasis being placed
Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway with Toll on expanding national Terminal 3, Indira Gandhi
Tax Gate, Gurgaon highways. To improve International Airport
traffic flow on existing
roads, plans are underway to make both the inner and outer Ring roads signal free.

To support its commitment to mass transport, nine corridors have been identified and are being constructed as
High Capacity Bus Systems (for example, one from Ambedkar Nagar to Red Fort). Six of these corridors are
expected to be operational in 2010. Additionally, The Delhi Metro had been expanded to accommodate more
people and boost the use of public transport during the 2010 games. The metro has extended to Gurgaon and
the Noida area. For this large increase in the size of the network, Delhi Metro had deployed 14 tunnel boring
machines.[23] Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was used to tag vehicles in venue parking lots to help
organize mass parking and increase security.[24]

Indira Gandhi International Airport is being modernised, expanded, and upgraded. Costing nearly $1.95 billion,
Terminal 3 has improved airport passenger capacity to more than 37 million passengers a year by 2010. A new
runway has been constructed, allowing for more than 75 flights an hour. At more than 4400 metres long, it will
be one of Asia's longest. The airport has been connected to the city via a six-lane expressway (Delhi–Gurgaon
Expressway) and the $580 million Delhi Airport Metro Express line.[25]

Green Games

The organisers signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the

United Nations Environment Programme to show the intention to host a
"sustainable games" and to take the environment into consideration when
constructing and renovating venues. Thyagaraj Stadium is intended to be a key
example of environmentally considered construction.

In opposition to this intention, a number of environmental controversies arose

and the adverse ecological impact of various aspects of the games have been
protested by city residents.[26][27] City residents filed a public interest petition
to the Supreme Court of India against the felling of 'heritage' trees in the Siri
Fort area to make way for Games facilities. The court appointed architect
Charles Correa to assess the impact and he severely criticised the designs on Logo for the Delhi 2010
ecological grounds.[28] In spite of this, in April 2009 the Supreme Court Commonwealth Games
allowed the construction on the grounds that "much time had been lost" and being recognised as the first
ever "Green Commonwealth
"the damage already caused to the environment could not be undone".[29][30]
Games"
The Commonwealth Games village, located on the flood plains of the Yamuna,
has also been the subject of controversies about the flouting of ecological norms.[31] After a prolonged legal
battle between city residents and the state, construction was permitted to continue on the basis of an order of
the Supreme Court of India in July 2009, which held that the government had satisfied the requirements of "due
process of the law" by issuing public notice of its intention to begin construction work in September 1999 (a

30-05-2012 2010 Commonwealth Games - Wikipe…
date four years prior to the acceptance of Delhi's bid for the games).[32]

Other preparation
In preparation for an influx of English-speaking tourists for the Games, the Delhi government is implementing a
program to teach English, and the necessary skills for serving tourists, to key workers—such as cab drivers,
security workers, waiters, porters, and service staff. In the two years prior to the Games 2,000 drivers were
taught English. The program aims to teach 1,000 people English per month in the hope of reaching all key
workers by March 2010. In addition to Delhi, the Indian Government plans to expand the program to teach
people in local tourist destinations in other parts of India.[33]

To facilitate hassle-free sightseeing in Delhi, Delhi Tourism is

undertaking the launch of India's very first Hop On Hop Off bus
known as HOHO DELHI
(http://delhitourism.nic.in/delhitourism/transport/hoho.jsp) , modeled
on popular concept of transport facilities in Western countries. The
bus, which is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies like digital
video screens and GPS systems, also has trained guides who will be

responsible for giving information about the sites. The purple-coloured
Delhi
air-conditioned buses will commence from 1 October 2010, to 2020
as per the license issued.

To prepare for the energy-usage spike during the Games and to end chronic power cuts in Delhi, the
government is undertaking a large power-production initiative to increase power production to 7,000 MW
(from the current 4,500 MW). To achieve this goal, the government plans to streamline the power distribution
process, direct additional energy to Delhi, and construct new power plants. In fact, the government has
promised that by the end of 2010, Delhi will have a surplus of power.[34]

In addition to physical preparation, India will offer free accommodation for all athletes at the Games Village, as
well as free transport and other benefits, such as a free trip to the famed Taj Mahal and a reserved lane for
participants on selected highways.[35] The Games Village will house over 8,000 athletes and officials for the
Games. Indian states will train state police forces to handle tourist-related issues and deploy them prior to the
Games. A large-scale construction and "beautification" project has resulted in the demolition of hundreds of
homes and the displacement of city dwellers—at least 100,000 of New Delhi’s 160,000 homeless people have
removed from shelters, some of which have been demolished.[36][37] Bamboo screens have been erected
around city slums to separate visitors from the sights of the slums,[38] a practice which human rights campaigners
have deemed dishonest and immoral.[39]

The Delhi High Court is set to implement a series of "mobile courts" to be dispatched throughout Delhi to
relocate migrant beggars from Delhi streets. The mobile courts would consider each beggar on a case-by-case
basis to determine whether the beggar should be sent back to his/her state of residence, or be permitted to
remain in government-shelters.[40]

Symbols
Mascot

The official mascot for the 2010 Commonwealth Games is Shera, an anthropomorphised tiger.[41] His name
comes from "Sher", a hindi word meaning tiger (Hindi "Bagh" means tiger. However, Sher is colloquially used
for both lion and tiger). The logo and the look for the games were designed by Idiom Design and

initiative "Shera Shera"[42]

The mascot Shera is visiting many schools across Delhi to create enthusiasm and interest for the Commonwealth
Games being held .

Official song

"Come out and play". The song is penned by Mehboob in Hindi with A.R. Rehman sang the theme song in
a sprinkling of English words. It was released on 28 August 2010. the opening ceremony.

September and featured a shorter version of the song. A. R. Rahman
also gave a live concert for the theme song in Gurgaon, Haryana which was previewed on various news
channels . The official video of the song has been released on YouTube . However this song was not much
appreciated by the people[44] as it was being compared with FIFA WC, South Africa's official song and Waka-
Waka of Shakira.

Queen's Baton relay

The Queen's Baton Relay began when the baton, which contains Queen Elizabeth
II's message to the athletes, left Buckingham Palace on 29 October 2009. The
baton arrived at the 2010 Games opening ceremony on 3 October 2010, after
visiting the other 54 nations of the Commonwealth and travelling throughout India,
reaching millions of people to join in the celebrations for the Games.The baton
arrived in India on 25 June 2010 through the Wagah Border crossing from
Pakistan.[45]

The baton was designed by Michael Foley, a graduate of the National Institute of
Design.[46] It is a triangular section of aluminium twisted into a helix shape and

the 2010 Commonwealth coloured soils are a first for the styling of a Queen's Baton. A jewel-encrusted
Games box was used to house the Queen's message, which was laser-engraved onto a
miniature 18 carat gold leaf—representative of the ancient Indian 'patras. The
Queen's baton is ergonomically contoured for ease of use. It is 664 millimetres

Opening ceremony
Main article: 2010 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony

The opening ceremony of the 2010 Commonwealth Games was held

at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the main stadium of the event, in
New Delhi, India. It began at 7:00 pm (IST) on 3 October 2010.[48]
The opening ceremony was directed by Ganapathy Bharat, known
commonly as Bharat Bala, an acclaimed Tamil film director,
screenwriter and film producer based in Kodambakkam, Chennai.
The ceremony featured over 8,000 performers, and lasted for two-
and-a-half hours.[49] It is estimated that 350 crores (US$77 million) The 2010 Commonwealth Games
were spent to produce the ceremony.[50] opening ceremony in Jawaharlal

The ceremony was divided into six separate segments, each the aerostat
showcasing the rich, ancient and diverse cultures of India, including
art, traditions, dances, music and colors. The ceremony began with a
showcase of a variety of drummers from all parts of India, accompanied by 7-year-old tabla player Keshav.
The countdown took place on a screen in the stadium, and was accompanied by fireworks. The center-piece of
the ceremony was the helium aerostat, which acted as a giant 360° screen for spectators. The ceremony
showcased a fusion of various classical dances from all parts of India, mehendi decorations, sand paintings and
yoga. The title song was performed, live, by A R Rahman. Noted Indian singer Hariharan sang the welcome
song for the Games, titled Swagatam, with thousands of school-children.[51]

Prince Charles, Prince of Wales (representing Queen Elizabeth II as Head of the Commonwealth) and President
of India Pratibha Patil officially declared the Games open.[52] Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of the host
nation, India, attended the opening ceremony as well. A total of three heads of state from outside India attended
the opening ceremony; two from Commonwealth nations and one from a non-Commonwealth nation. The three
head of states were Mohamed Nasheed, President of the Maldives, Marcus Stephen, President of Nauru and a
multiple Commonwealth gold medallist, and Prince Albert II of Monaco, whose country Monaco is not a
member of the Commonwealth.[53] As well, Sir Anand Satyanand, the Governor General of New Zealand (the
first of Indian descent), attended the ceremony.[54]

The opening ceremony received widespread national and international praise from the media and spectators.
Newspapers in Commonwealth nations such as Canada, Britain and Australia called the ceremony dazzling and
awe-inspiring. The ceremony has been widely attributed to change the view of the international press about the
Games.[55]

Closing ceremony
The games closed on 14 October 2010 in a colourful closing ceremony featuring both Indian and Scottish
performers.[60][61] The closing ceremony was not as well received as the opening ceremony.[62] The
Commonwealth Games flag was handed over to representatives of Glasgow, Scotland, which will host the XX
Commonwealth Games in 2014.

At the closing ceremony, the President of the Commonwealth Games Federation declared that Delhi had hosted
a "truly exceptional Games".[63] A day after the ceremony, Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond stated that "
[Scotland] is highly impressed with Delhi's success in holding the multi-sport event,[...] Delhi hosted a very
successful Commonwealth Games. It will be a challenge to emulate".[64]

Participating nations
There were 71 participating nations at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. As Fiji was suspended from the
Commonwealth, it was banned from participating in the Games.[65] Rwanda fielded a team for the games for the

for rugby sevens, including seven venues within Delhi University; two
for shooting; one for squash; two for table tennis; one for weightlifting,
three for wrestling and two for tennis.[136]

The Commonwealth Games Village provided accommodation and

training for athletes of the Games, and was opened from 23 The main venue of the Games, the

the River Yamuna, in proximity to competition and training venues as
well as city landmarks, and is spread over an area of 63.5 hectares
(157 acres). Comprising five main zones—the Residential Zone, the International Zone, the Training Area, the
Main Dining and the Operational Zone—the Games Village, which is a non-smoking zone,[137] is universally
accessible particularly to accommodate para-sport athletes.[138]

There were three main non-competition venues in the Games, besides the Commonwealth Games Village (see
above); namely the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Headquarters (OC CWG Delhi
2010), the Main Media Centre, and the Games Family Hotel, Hotel Ashok.

Concerns and controversies

Main article: Concerns and controversies over the 2010 Commonwealth Games

Several concerns were raised over the preparations of the Games and these included excessive budget
overruns,[139] likelihood of floods in Delhi due to heavy monsoon rains, infrastructural compromise, poor living
conditions at the Commonwealth Games Village, delays in construction of the main Games' venues,[140][141] the
withdrawal of prominent athletes,[142] widespread corruption by officials of the Games' Organising
Committee[143] and possibility of a terrorist attack by militants.[144]

The negative pre-event publicity and heavy security presence played in part in low spectator attendance during
the initial events. However the numbers picked up as the Games progressed.

Formation of dedicated investigation committee

The day after the conclusion of the Games, the Indian Government announced the formation of a special
committee to probe the allegations of corruption and mismanagement against the Organising Committee. The
probe committee will be led by former Comptroller and Auditor General of India VK Shunglu. This probe will
be in addition to the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate, and Central Vigilance
Commission investigations already underway. The Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh had promised
in mid-August, when reports of the bungling first surfaced, that corrupt officials will be given "severe and
exemplary" punishment after the Games. The probe committee is tasked with looking into "all aspects of
organising and conducting" the Games, and "to draw lessons from it." It has been given three months time to
submit its report.[145][146] The Indian Sports Ministry has directed the Organising Committee of the 2010

Commonwealth Games (led by Suresh Kalmadi), to not release any staffer from their positions till the probe
committee's work is finished.

Terrorist attack plans

On 10 October 2010, the Indian government received detailed reports from the United States Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) that Lashkar-e-Taiba and Al Qaida were planning to attack a luxury hotel in Delhi
and a games venue on 12 or 13 October. In response, the Central Government increased security at Delhi's top
eight hotels and 80 trucks of sand were checked "shovel by shovel" for hidden bombs and grenades.[147]

Legacy
India is largely a single-sport country, with cricket far outstripping all other sports in terms of the talent,
sponsorships, spectator support, and media attention it receives.One of the important aims of hosting the
Commonwealth Games was to build world-class athletics infrastructure within the nation, expose audiences to
top-level non-cricket competition, and encourage the youth to "Come out and play" (the official theme of the
games).[148] Building a sporting culture that looks beyond cricket is seen as an important task for a country
which won its first ever individual Olympic gold medal only in Beijing 2008, despite having the world's second-
largest population.[149]

Lord Sebastian Coe, former Olympic Champion and chairman of the 2012 London Olympics Organising
Committee, was at the stadium during the 4x400m women's relay, and witness to the deafening cheers for the
racers. He described it as "potentially the moment that could change the course of athletics in Asia, the moment
that could inspire thousands of people who'd never even seen an athletics track before to get involved." He
added that "To build a truly global capacity in sport, you have to take it round the world – out of your own
backyard. That means taking risks and facing challenges, but it has to be done."
