Will the Commonwealth Game continue?

The fear that the commonwealth games will not continue has been carried on from the weekend, where several attacks in Delhi cast fear for the safety of the athletes during the games. And now following on from the weekends terrorist attacks there is another issue questioning the continuation of the Delhi Commonwealth games. The attention has turned to the athletes village, which the teams are saying is no where near ready. Dave Currie who is in Delhi told New Zealand radio station NewstalkZB 


"If the village is not ready and athletes can't come, obviously the implications of that are that it's not going to happen," he said. "I think they are in severe difficulties...In the timeframe that is left, unless there is tremendous effort and energy and problem-solving ability to get it done, I think it's going to be extremely hard to get across the line...They've got a little bit of time but it's kind of two seconds to midnight really."


There is two days left for the planned completion of the athletes village. Will they finish in time? Will the games continue?
