About CWG 2010 Delhi

The 2010 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XIX Commonwealth Games, were held in
Delhi, India, from 3 to 14 October 2010. A total of 6,081 athletes from 71 Commonwealth nations and
dependencies competed in 21 sports and 272 events. It was the largest international multi-sport event
to be staged in Delhi and India, eclipsing the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982.The opening and closing
ceremonies were held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the main stadium of the event. It was the first
time that the Commonwealth Games were held in India and the second time it was held in Asia after
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1998. The official mascot of the Games was Shera. Several controversies
surfaced before the start of the Games. Despite these controversies, all participating nations of the
Commonwealth of Nations participated in the event, except Fiji, which is suspended from the
Commonwealth, and Tokelau, which didn't send a team. A widely-praised opening ceremony helped
improve the image of the Games. The concerns raised during the buildup to the Games proved largely
unfounded as most events progressed smoothly. The final medal tally was led by Australia. The host
nation India gave its strongest performance yet to emerge second, while England placed third. The
games closed on 14th October in a colorful and appreciated closing ceremony featuring both Indian
and Scottish performers. The Commonwealth Games flag was handed over to representatives of
Glasgow, Scotland, which will host the XX Commonwealth Games in 2014. At the closing ceremony, the
president of the Commonwealth Games Federation declared that Delhi had hosted a "truly exceptional
Games".

 Shera The Mascot
Shera, mascot of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, is
the most visible face of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010
Delhi. His name comes from the Hindi word Sher – meaning
tiger. Shera truly represents the modern Indian. He is an
achiever with a positive attitude, a global citizen but justifiably
proud of his nation’s ancient heritage, a fierce competitor but
with integrity and honesty. Shera is also a ‘large-hearted
gentleman’ who loves making friends and enthusing people to
‘come out and play’.
In Indian mythology, the tiger is associated with Goddess
Durga, the embodiment of Shakti (or female power) and the
vanquisher of evil. She rides her powerful vehicle – the tiger –
into combat, especially in her epic and victorious battle
against Mahishasur, a dreaded demon.
Shera embodies values that the nation is proud of: majesty,
power, charisma, intelligence and grace. His athletic prowess,
courage and speed on the field are legendary. He is also a
reminder of the fragile environment he lives in and our
responsibility towards the protection of his ecosystem.

 Other Preparations
 In preparation for an influx of English-speaking tourists for the Games, the Delhi government is
implementing a program to teach English, and the necessary skills for serving tourists, to key workers
—such as cab drivers, security workers, waiters, porters, and service staff. In the two years prior to
the Games 2,000 drivers were taught English. The program aims to teach 1,000 people English per
month in the hope of reaching all key workers by March 2010. In addition to Delhi, the Indian
Government plans to expand the program to teach people in local tourist destinations in other parts
of India. To achieve this goal, the government plans to streamline the power distribution process,
direct additional energy to Delhi, and construct new power plants. In fact, the government has
promised that by the end of 2010, Delhi will have a surplus of power. In addition to physical
preparation, India will offer free accommodation for all athletes at the Games Village, as well as free
transport and other benefits, such as a free trip to the famed Taj Mahal and a reserved lane for
participants on selected highways. The Games Village will house over 8,000 athletes and officials for
the Games. Indian states will train state police forces to handle tourist-related issues and deploy
them prior to the Games. A large-scale construction and "beautification" project has resulted in the
demolition of hundreds of homes and the displacement of city dwellers at least 100,000 of New
Delhi’s 160,000 homeless people have removed from shelters, some of which have been demolished.
Bamboo screens have been erected around city slums to separate visitors from the sights of the
slums, a practice which human rights campaigners have deemed dishonest and immoral. The Delhi
High Court is set to implement a series of "mobile courts" to be dispatched throughout Delhi to
relocate migrant beggars from Delhi streets. The mobile courts would consider each beggar on a
case-by-case basis to determine whether the beggar should be sent back to his/her state of
residence, or be permitted to remain in government-shelters.

Queen’s Baton
The Queen's Baton Relay began when the baton, which contains Queen Elizabeth
II's message to the athletes, left Buckingham Palace on 29 October 2009. The baton
arrived at the 2010 Games opening ceremony on 3 October 2010, after visiting the
other 54 nations of the Commonwealth and travelling throughout India, reaching
millions of people to join in the celebrations for the Games. The baton arrived in
India on 25 June 2010 through the Wagah Border crossing from Pakistan.
The baton was designed by Michael Foley, a graduate of the National Institute of
Design. It is a triangular section of aluminum twisted into a helix shape and then
coated with colored soils collected from all the regions of India. The colored soils
are a first for the styling of a Queen's Baton. A jewel-encrusted box was used to
house the Queen's message, which was laser-engraved onto a miniature 18 carat
gold leaf—representative of the ancient Indian 'patras. The Queen's baton is
ergonomically contoured for ease of use. It is 664 millimeters (26.1 in) high,
34 millimeters (1.3 in) wide at the base, and 86 millimeters (3.4 in) wide at the top
and weighs 1,900 grams (67 oz).

 The Queen's baton has a number of
technological features including :

 The ability to capture images and sound.

 Global positioning system (GPS) technology so the baton's location can be
tracked .
 Embedded light emitting diodes (LEDs) which will change into the colors of
a country’s flag whilst in that country.
 A text messaging capability so that people can send messages of
congratulations and encouragement to the baton bearers throughout the
relay.
 The opening ceremony of the 2010 Commonwealth Games was held at the
Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the main stadium of the event, in New Delhi,
India. It began at 7:00 PM (IST) on 3 October 2010 ending at 11:00 PM (IST)
displaying India's varied culture in a plethora of cultural showcases. It was
watched live by a global audience of around three billion.
