The crowd had erupted in joy as the firecrackers went up in air heralding the beginning of the Games. The entire system was supported by over 50 km of power cables that were used to provide constant power for the opening ceremony.From:MrsumanraoViews:2739 1ratingsTime:10:24More in more...

The Commonwealth Games has a long and storied past. The matches in athletics alone have been amazing. The 2010 version, which opens this weekend, is having both media and security problems. Neither of those have helped ticket sales, which are at a paltry 200,000 out of an estimated 1.7 million tickets available.Security concerns have kept many athletes away. While UK athletics and many other teams have kept a stiff upper lip, elite athletes have several concerns: security issues, the absolute exhaustion many face at the end of a ten month season, and how to prepare for 2011-2012.India has huge potential in the global sporting world. They have had some outstanding athletes in track & field, and I believe we will see many more to come.
