BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Sprint superstar Usain Bolt will miss this year’s Commonwealth Games in India, his coach Glen Mills has confirmed. Organisers were hoping the World record holder in the 100 and 200 metres would show up for the October 3-14 Games scheduled for Delhi, but the latest announcement is sure to be a huge blow. “Bolt made it known long ago that he is not going to the Commonwealth Games,” Mills said. Bolt’s absence is expected to allow him to continue his preparation for the London 2012 Olympics where he will defend his sprint titles in the 100 and 200 metres. Before that, the 23-year-old will also defend both sprint titles at next year’s World Championship in Daegu, South Korea. It will be the second successive time Bolt has missed the Commonwealth Games after pulling out of the 2006 edition in Melbourne because of injury. He will also be a no-show at the Jamaica National Championships next weekend, another meet Mills said the Jamaican was never carded to attend. “He was never down to run at trials,” Mills said. Bolt is currently on the mend from an Achilles tendon injury which forced him out of the last IAAF Diamond League event in New York. He has already shown glimpses of his ominous form this year, posting 19.56 seconds in the 200 metres in Jamaica g earlier this month before returning to run 9.86 seconds in the 100 metres in Daegu.source>> http://www.stabroeknews.com/2010/sports/06/21/commonwealth-games-to-do-without-world%E2%80%99s-fastest-man/ more...

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...
