2 years ago
Rahman performs at commonwealth games Opening Ceremony 2010 CWG Delhi , IndiaAR Rahman hypnotized 60000 audiences at the ostentatious Commonwealth Games opening ceremony with his theme song performance of 'Jeeyo Utho Badho Jeeto'. The song which had received a lukewarm response earlier sounded quite peppy after it was tweaked. Rahman got lot loud cheers from the audienceThe music Maestro was welcomed by a loud cheering crowd when he stepped on stage on Sunday night to perform the Commonwealth theme song. Dressed casually in white bandhgala jacket, denim and white shoes, Rahman scorched the stage with his rendition. Rahman as promised delivered a powerful performance with his composition and dancing to the tunes of the theme was a spectacular set of dancers, who managed to make it even more colorful with their performances. Incidentally, the theme song had a grand finale as the rendition was brought to a close by a crisp and vibrant show put together by 7000 folk dancers across the country. After the performance of 'Jeeyo Utho Badho Jeeto', the Academy award winner then delivered his famous hit song 'Jai Ho', the song which got him the Oscars last year.From:IndiaolympicsViews:2926 0ratingsTime:03:30More inSports  more...

Delhi Commonwealth games 2010 ; see you in Delhi [ official video ]The 2010 Commonwealth Games are the nineteenth edition of the Common wealth Games, and the ninth to be held under that name. The Games are scheduled to be held in New Delhi, India between 3 October and 14 October 2010. The games will be the largest multi-sport event conducted to date in New Delhi and India generally, which has previously hosted the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982. The opening ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. It will also be the first time the Commonwealth Games will be held in India and the second time the event has been held in Asia (after 1998 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). In addition to the Commonwealth Games, the city of Pune, India hosted the 3rd Common wealth Youth Games between October 12 and 18, 2008. The Youth Games offered nine sports: athletics, badminton, boxing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, tennis, weightlifting and wrestling. The Commonwealth Games is a multinational, multi-sport event.

T&T interested in Commonwealth Games bid

3 years ago
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Patrick Manning has expressed an interest in the country staging the 2018 Commonwealth Games. T&T is one of three countries so far – the others Australia and Nigeria — showing an interest in bidding for the games in nine years. The Australian city of Melbourne staged the 2006 Commonwealth Games and Nigeria’s Abuja lost out to Glasgow (Scotland) for the 2014 Games. India will host the 19th edition of the Commonwealth Games next year. Suresh Kalmadi, chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, made the disclosure about T&T’s interest on Saturday, during a press conference at the International Financial Centre, Port-of-Spain. Manning’s intentions were made at a Sports Breakfast meeting, in which Kalmadi and dignitaries representing the Commonwealth nations attended at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. “In his (Manning’s) speech, he said he would like to be the host of the Commonwealth Games 2018,” Kalmadi said. “He made a bid right there in front of all of us,” added Kalmadi. Manning’s bid came on the heels of T&T’s hosting of the Fifth Summit of the Americas in April and just before the closure of the 21st Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) here this past weekend. Kalmadi said countries need strong financial backing to successfully bid for the Commonwealth Games. Asked if T&T would be able to prepare for an event of this magnitude, Kalmadi said, “It depends on your government. If they are ready to come forward or not”. The 2010 games, which will be held in Delhi India next October, has already cost India’s government US$2 billion. T&T Olympic Committee (TTOC) general secretary Brian Lewis said that in 2008 they had given some thought to staging the Commonwealth Games. “Our intention was to engage discussion with Sport Minister Gary Hunt and the government following the Caribbean Games.” T&T cancelled staging the Caribbean Games earlier this year as a result of the H1N1 virus and scuppered the TTOC’s projections for the bigger assignment. “The background of a successful Caribbean Games would have given T&T a good argument to be the (Commonwealth) host. If the Prime Minister is of the view it is something he would like to explore, I would think the T&TOC would like to have some discussion with him,” Lewis said.source >> http://www.stabroeknews.com/2009/sports/12/01/tt-interested-in-commonwealth-games-bid/  more...
