Chairman of Commonwealth Games Scotland Michael Cavanagh has told “Insidethegames” that Glasgow will avoid Delhi’s mistakes when the city hosts the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Indian officials had to deal with a series of problems based around a lack organization mainly in security, infrastructure and administration.
Construction costs for the event have skyrocketed with some estimates claiming organizers have spent as much as $10 billion (£6 billion) on the Games, leaving them well over budget.
“It is a very well planned Games four years out as the Athletes’ Village is already under construction. The Village should be ready by January 2014, six months ahead of the event, so I think things involving construction will be done at a very early stage. The one thing Glasgow does very well is get the basics right”, said Cavanagh.
