Canada will delay sending athletes to New Deli for the Commonwealth Games because of concerns about health and safety conditions within the athletes village, Commonwealth Games Canada (CGC) said on Wednesday.
The women's field hockey team and two shooting athletes, who were scheduled to leave Canada on Thursday evening, will remain home for at least two more days. Their travel arrangements have not yet been finalised.
"The bottom line is that the accommodations in the athletes village simply aren't ready," Scott Stevenson, CGC's director of sport who is on the ground in Delhi, said in a statement.
"We're working extremely hard with local authorities to get the finishing work and the clean-up done but it's going to take more time.
"More importantly, we have not received the official clearance from the host Organizing Committee and the Commonwealth Games Federation that the Village is ready for its official opening."
