most of these are exisitng stadia which have been renovated. Sydney Olympics in 2000 - $ 1 billion Athens 2004 - $ 6 billion Beijing 2008 - $ 44 billion ( the greatest spectacle on planet earth until now..) London 2012 - $ 18 billion ( estimates..) New Delhi Common Wealth Games 2010 $ 14 billion, but nobody accountable, everyone is spending .. Sebastian Coe , the 800 m Olympic goldmedallist is the chairman of the 2012 London Olympics, A corrupt, thick skinned, former Indian Airforce pilot, politician Suresh Kalmadi is the Chairman of CWG OC. E sridharan or Metro fame or Kheny of NICE Bangalore fame would have done the games at half the cost. The cost of refurbishing the exisiting Jawaharlal Nehru athletics stadium in Delhi cost Rs 1000 crores. The SC has said that till the games are over, the OC members will be public citizens and after the games are over, they will be private citizens and will have to take care of their own backs. Thousands of crores must already have flown to Swiss banks on hearing that news.. Where is our country headed to !! |

The problem happening now is that all major events are done in new Delhi and only New Delhi crowd have the financial nuscle to watch these games.
