WILL BELIZE ATTEND COMMONWEALTH GAMES IN DELHI, INDIA

WILL BELIZE ATTEND THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES IN DELHI, INDIA?

Delhi is hosting the Commonwealth Games, but most of the stadiums and
facilities are either unfinished or suffering from leaks and shoddy
construction.

A bridge to the Games area collapsed.

Two foreign tourists were shot in Delhi, raising fears that foreign
teams attending the games would be at risk.

Then photos of the new athletes' village appeared, showing filth and
garbage in the upscale apartments, not to mention serious plumbing and
electrical problems such as exposed wires.

Some Commonwealth country teams have delayed arrival or said they were
undecided about whether to attend. However, England, Scotland, Wales
and Northern Ireland have announced they will travel to Delhi for the
games, and several other countries including New Zealand are supposed
to announce their decisions soon.

Belize has participated in all Games since 1994, after being absent
from the games after 1978, but Belize has not yet won a medal.
