Games Village "very good" but needs clean up: NZ top official
SPORT-CWG-NZ
Wellington, Sep 18 (PTI) New Zealand Commonwealth Games
Chef de Mission Dave Currie has given the Games Village in New
Delhi the thumbs up but wants the block where the country's
athletes will be put up to be cleaned up.
Currie, here to check the progress, has reported back to
New Zealand Olympic Committee that facilities in Tower 32, the
residential block in the Village where the team will be
housed, were good, but it was not clean enough.
"Aspects of the village are very good. The athlete
recreational and training areas are outstanding and the dining
hall is of a very high standard," Currie was quoted as saying
by 'New Zealand Herald'.
"In saying that, however, our tower needs a good clean
before we can operationalise it," he said.
The safety of the athletes has been NZOC's top priority
and Currie said security measures around the perimeter of the
Games Village appeared robust.
Currie was working with officials from Wales, England,
Canada and Australian teams. His focus was on the Games
Village while other officials checked the progress on venues.
"I've been told that the venues appear to be operational
and in pretty good shape," Currie said.
He said the mosquito-enticing pools of water at venues is
a major cause for concern with the mega event scheduled to
start in less than a fortnight.
"The unseasonably late monsoons mean there are still
pools of water around and this is a focus for organisers.
There is still some preparation work needed to be done on the
main stadium," he said.
Weightlifting coach Richard Dryden said that as long "as
the platform is solid and the training room is expansive" they
could work anywhere.
"It might take until the last-minute, but it will
happen," Dryden said of Delhi's readiness. PTI PDS
