Sydney, Sep 25(ANI): Australian swimmer Ashley Callus has said that though his team has been briefed "quite heavily" on the Delhi Commonwealth Games situation, he is 110 per cent ready to rock 'n' roll in them.
Members of the Australian swimming squad flew out to their training camp in Kuala Lumpur ahead of the Games' opening ceremony in eight days.
"There's excitement because I'm heading to my fourth Commonwealth Games, but there's also anxiousness to see what it's actually like over there," The Courier Mail quoted Callus, as saying.
"They keep us updated on the security issues and how the village is coming along . . . with this information everyone can make informed decisions," he added.
The 31-year-old sprint freestyle swimmer further said that at the moment he had "no qualms" about attending the event.
"Should any more information come to hand about the situation changing over there, then that could influence what happens," Callus said.
"For me, personally, (what is happening in Delhi) has not impacted on my motivation or want to go and compete. I am 110 per cent ready to rock 'n' roll," he added.
Callus had won a gold medal in the 4x100metre freestyle relay at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, silver at 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games and bronze at 2008 Beijing Olympics. (ANI)
