ah neh paper blowing truppet
Delhi Games will be rated among the best
NEW DELHI: The Commonwealth Games in Delhi will be rated among the best sporting events in the world and India has already silenced critics with a spectacular opening ceremony, top representatives of participating countries have said.
"We were really concerned about the preparation, especially because of media reports. But the opening ceremony was spectacular. I think it was among the best," Uganda's Minister of State for Sports Charles Bakkabulindi told IANS.
"Since India is a developing country, some people were sceptical - they questioned its ability to host the Games. But I am sure its success will showcase India's emergence as a leading player in world affairs -- in economy, politics and sports," he said.
"India is already leading developing nations on many issues of global importance. It has shown developing countries can do the things and they can do them better," said Bakkabulindi, who is leading a 34-member Ugandan team to the Delhi Commonwealth Games.
Cliff Fuller, New Zealand's trade commissioner to India, agreed, adding on many aspects he found the opening ceremony and the overall conduct of the Games better than similar events earlier.
"The opening ceremony gives the impression that It will be the best ever Commonwealth Games," Fuller said. "New Zealand, I can say, is quite satisfied with the security and overall arrangements for the Games."
Michael Carter, the Australian trade commissioner and counsellor-commercial at the high commission here, said the Games will also go on to strengthen trade, economic and political ties between India and Australia.
"In the end, India has proved it can do things and it can do well. The opening ceremony was outstanding. We expect very successful Games," said Carter, in sharp contrast to the carping done by officials from Australia and New Zealand earlier.
He said the Games would give a major fillip to India-Australia bilateral trade, that is now pegged at over $20 billion. "Over 400,000 Indians live in Australia. The game will further strengthen people-to-people contacts - an important thread in our relations."
Zambian Acting High Commissioner to India Allan D. Kalebuka said his country was pushing India to do more, mainly because he wanted New Delhi to show the world that developing countries, too, had the potential to do as well as what the rich nations boast of.
"India has done us proud. Everything has been done so well," Kalebuka told IANS.
The 19th edition of the Games is seeing the highest participation, with more than 7,000 athletes and officials from all the 71 member countries and territories of the Commonwealth federation.

Pearson 'shouldn't have been allowed to run'
October 8, 2010
Former champion Jane Flemming has savaged Commonwealth Games officials over Sally Pearson's heart-breaking disqualification in New Delhi.
The most dramatic and even perhaps most farcical event of the competition occurred overnight when 24-year-old Pearson thought she had become the first Australian woman since Raelene Boyle in 1974 to win gold in the 100 metres sprint.
Pearson, nee McLellan, was denied the gold medal after an appeal by England, with a subsequent four-hour deliberation by the judges determining she had false-started in an earlier attempt to begin the race.
Pearson believed she had false-started, burying her head in her hands, but then received a reprieve when the judges instead turned their focus on England's Laura Turner.
Turner remonstrated with the officials and both she and Pearson were allowed to take part in the re-start, with Pearson subsequently streaking to victory before draping herself in the Australian flag and completing a lap of honour.
She gave a television interview and even began preparing for the medal ceremony before being informed of a potential problem.
Flemming, who won gold medals in the heptathlon and long jump for Australia in the Auckland 1990 Games, told Fairfax Radio that Games officials made the right call, but handled the process disgracefully.
"I think the disqualification was fair but the process was unfair," Flemming said.
"Sally did break. Under the rules of the sport she did, as did the other English girl, and they should not have actually been allowed to run. That was the biggest issue.
"And they (the officials) certainly should have had it in hand before she did the victory lap.
"That was a disgrace that that was allowed to happen.
"The whole process was ordinary, but that does seem to be what we've come to expect over here."
A weeping Pearson said she was "devastated" after the verdict was handed down.
"I guess I am just numb right now. I don't really know how to feel - obviously devastated and very disappointed," she said.
Her manager Robert Joske said Pearson would now be even more determined to win the 100 metres hurdles, which she enters as favourite.
"She's obviously a little bit upset but she said she's getting over it reasonably rapidly, going to bed to have a really good sleep and channel all the emotions into preparing herself for the hurdles," he said.
"There's no two ways about it, Sally Pearson has a tensile strength that we haven't even begun to see yet."
'Kept in the dark'
Australia lodged a counter-appeal against the disqualification but it was unsuccessful.
Pearson said she had been kept in the dark during the initial appeal.
"I didn't know anything was going on. I was told that I was in the clear. I was walking out to do my medal ceremony and they called us back and said that there was still a protest going on," she said.
"No-one could tell me what it was about, who it was against, and that is probably the most disappointing thing because I still thought I was alright.
"I was getting told all these different stories and I was never once told the truth.
"Never once told what was going on, and I don't think that is fair.
"I mean, as a competitor and an athlete... this is our career, this is our job.
"This is what we train for and to run the race, do this victory lap, everything OK, and then be told 'oh no, you can't have your medal now'.
"It is horrible but I have to deal with it because that is just the way sport is."
Nigerian Osayemi Oludamola will be awarded the gold medal, with Natasha Mayers of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to take silver and England's Katherine Endacott bronze.

A board in the media work room shows a notice concerning Thursday's Women's 100m final at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium during the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India, Friday, Oct. 8, 2010. Australian sprinter Sally Pearson crossed first in the 100 in 11.28 seconds Thursday night at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, but she was disqualified hours later because of a false start. That was after she'd done a victory lap with the Australian flag flying behind her and almost made it to the medal podium because unofficial results were released, but later corrected and reclassified in yet another embarrassing glitch at the games.
