They were undecided about the Games Village before they had seen it, but after watching the arrangements at the Games Village the athletes were all praise for the Village. Steve Moneghetti, the Australian Chef de Mission, described the Village “as good as” he has ever seen.
Even Suresh Kalmadi echoed the sentiments of athletes when he said that everyone is happy. He however added that 80 per cent venues are ready and reiterated his point that the Games Village in India is better than Beijing.
“People are now happy with whatever they have got. Over a 1,000 people have come now and they are very happy. Most of the athletes are happy. Eighty per cent of the flats are fine. The sun is out and everything will be fine,” he said.
Meanwhile, there were reports that Australian athletes were not allowed to interact with the media after they touched down at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. The report mentioned that it was done due to heightened security measures taken by the police.
