Australia, New Zealand confirm participation
New Delhi/Melbourne, Sep 24 (PTI) In a boost to the controversy-marred event, the Australian and New Zealand Commonwealth Games bosses today confirmed participation of their teams in the Delhi Games, giving a thumbs up to the much-criticised Athletes' Village.
The decision of the two teams comes after uncertainty over their participation with the Australian Olympic Committee even questioning the wisdom of the event being awarded to Delhi while New Zealand had said it would take one more day to decide.
After a visit this morning to the Village which had come under attack from various quarters over sanitary conditions, Australian Commonwealth Games Association chief Perry Crosswhite said his country was happy with the Village and that their athletes are looking forward to the Games beginning October 3.
"We are quite happy with the Village and we are looking forward to the Games.
