Highlights of Commonwealth Games

Found Thousands of Condoms in CWG Village - Rubbery problem The Commonwealth Games Village is confronting a civic problem again. It is not the dirty loos or spit-stained bathrooms, but choked drains, which are now causing problems. And this time, the athletes themselves are to blame. When some toilets used by the athletes were found clogged, plumbers were called in to clean them. They found that thousands of used condoms, which had been flushed down, were clogging the system.

Blast, Light, Dance & Hooting on Open Ceremony of CWG, 2010 Drummers beat out a countdown to the opening as a vast helium balloon rose towards the sky. Organisers are seeking to shake off a run-up dogged by construction delays, corruption scandals and concerns over health and safety. Fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships are on standby. About 100,000 police and paramilitary officers were deployed as shops and businesses closed for the day. About 80,000 police on duty have been reinforced by 17,000 paramilitary troops to counter the danger of an attack by extremists.

India feeling proud for winning note on Commonwealth Games Hockey India's 3-2 win against Malaysia did not matter as

much as the three points that came with the result as it provided the hosts a solid start to their men's hockey campaign in the Commonwealth Games here Tuesday, so says coach Jose Brasa. 'Malaysia had other opportunities to score and we were also not good inside the 'd',' said Brasa while pointing out that one of the major differences between the two teams was the number of 'field players' he had for substitutions. On penalty corner specialist Sandeep Singh's absence from the field for the first 27 minutes, Brasa said: 'We played our best team, but later we played Sandeep for much of the second half. It had to do with our rotation of players so that everyone was fresh.'
