The first batch of athletes arrived in India for the Commonwealth Games on Friday, opting to stay at a hotel instead of unfinished, filthy accommodation as the future of the showcase event still hung in the balance.
Forty-seven members of the English men's hockey and lawn bowl teams will stay at a hotel until at least Saturday before moving to the athletes village which, along with a bridge collapse and a suspected militant attack on two foreign visitors, has thrown the Games into crisis.
Commonwealth Games Federation President Michael Fennell, who flew to New Delhi to inspect venues, gave an initial thumbs up for accommodation improvements but said work still needed to be done before the Oct. 3 start of the two-week long event.
