Commonwealth Games 2010, Delhi
Overview
The 2010 Commonwealth Games will be held in New Delhi, India from 3rd October to 14th October 2010. It will be the 19th edition of the games and for the first time they will be hosted by a city in India making it one of the most exciting and eagerly anticipated events in world sport.
 These games will break new boundaries for sport in India. It will be by far the largest multi-sport event the country has ever held and with an anticipated 71 nations taking part will give over five million Indian spectators the opportunity, not only to cheer their own teams on, but to experience and see new sports played at the very highest level.
Travel Places was very proud to be heavily involved in the 2006 Melbourne games, we looked after teams and spectators. For the home nations it was a hugely successful two weeks, England coming in second on the medal table with 110, Scotland 6th with 29 and lots of the other nations gaining good returns. The Welsh claimed 3 gold medals, the Isle of Man 1 and Northern Island were able to pick up 2 well deserved silvers.
For 2010, the Commonwealth Games will feature 17 sports that include Athletics, Badminton, Boxing, Field Hockey, Lawn Bowls, Netball, Rugby 7s, Squash, Swimming and Weightlifting.
Venue:
The city of Delhi has been busy developing several stadiums that will host the games, these will undoubtedly leave a legacy to Indian sports teams for years to come. The focus of events will take place at the refurbished Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium which seats 60,000 fans and will for sure be the focal point of the games. With the home nation strong in Hockey, Boxing and Badminton the new stadiums being developed for each of these sports will certainly create a buzz and a “must see” for the locals. In total 13 venues will host the games, all of which will have their own unique style and design.
Travel Places:
