Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 - Event
Calendar
The Commonwealth Games holds special significance in the
history of sports. It is a multi national sporting events,
which takes place after four years. Commonwealth history
dates back from 1930. It was the year when the first Commonwealth
games were organized. Athletes from Commonwealth nations
take part with high spirits in this grand event. This
huge event involves the participation of as many as 5000
athletes.
In 2010 Commonwealth Games, as many as 17 sports are
planned  namely
Wrestling, Weightlifting, Tennis, Table Tennis, Squash,
Shooting, Rugby 7s, Netball, Lawn Bowls, Hockey, Gymnastics,
Cycling, Boxing, Badminton, Athletics, Archery and Aquatics.
There is a strong probability of excluding triathlon
from the games as no place in New Delhi suits this sporting
event properly. Basketball is another sport, which is
also likely to be eliminated. While Archery, tennis
and billiards & snooker for men might be included
in the list. Despite of the strong demand to include
Cricket in the games it might not be included as the
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seems least
interested in organizing Twenty20 Cricket tournament,
but the organizers don't want to hold one-day tournament.
