Hooper now says no worries over Commonwealth Games

Hooper now says no worries over Commonwealth Games

NEW DELHI: Commonwealth Games chief executive officer Mike Hooper on Friday dispelled worries over the completion of venues for the Oct 3-14 Games, saying India will be ready in time to host a successful event.

A confident Hooper said India is left with no choice but to complete the task it has taken up and it will.

"Look, there is no denying that we voiced our concerns repeatedly over preparations for the Games. If you remember, Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) president Michael Fennell in December termed the delays in the completion of stadiums 'distressing'. By early this year he said there are 'some concerns' and last week he was satisfied with the progress. So things are improving for sure," Hooper said.
