So many Indians,living in India and Internationally, felt that a lot of the negative press before the games was instigated for reasons unknown. It was strange, but inspite of all the negative press, many of us felt confident that everything would turn out right in the end, and it did!
Nothing collapsed, no athlete got dengue and no venue was under water. The Games Village where the athletes stayed was in the end described as being the best by many who had been to previous events in other countries. The games went off spectacularly and India got to showcase it's culture and talent in both the opening and closing ceremonies.
I was happy to read your blog and post on the CWG!
Thanks and regards,
Misty
