Withdraw from the Commonwealth Games

On February 30th, Beijing time, 10, according to British media, the British team plans to withdraw from the 19 Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi, India in 20 10, which will be the first time for Britain to miss the Commonwealth Games in 80 years.

The British police and security departments are worried that the British team participating in the Commonwealth Games will become the target of Pakistani terrorists. They believe that when the British team appears, it is difficult to guarantee safety. At the Badminton World Championships held in New Delhi, the British team chose to retire for safety reasons.

The London police sent a special person to New Delhi to inspect the venue. The inspector went on to say that security issues in New Delhi need serious attention.

Although a formal withdrawal statement has not been made, a source from the British government told reporters that it is actually impossible to send a team to participate in the competition: "If you are an English player, you will not risk your life to participate in the competition anyway. We generally believe that we can't send a team to New Delhi next year. "

Britain plans to send about 100 athletes to participate in the Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi in June 20 10, which will be an important training for the London Olympic Games in 20 12. These athletes include Adling Dunn, a gold medalist in swimming at the Beijing Olympic Games, Daley, a diving prodigy, and pendleton, a famous cyclist.

The withdrawal of the British team will be fatal to the Commonwealth Games, and even whether the whole Games can be held on time will become a problem. Because after the British team withdraws, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will almost certainly follow suit. Australia and Canada have troops in Afghanistan. They will take it for granted that their athletes will be attacked by terrorists in New Delhi, or they may choose to quit.

The frequent terrorist incidents in India and its surrounding areas have affected the sports field. In 2008, from the night of1October 26th to the early morning of 27th, at least eight serial terrorist attacks occurred in Mumbai, India, killing 188 people. In March 2009, masked gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, the eastern city of Pakistan, killing seven people, including five policemen in charge of security.

Some athletes have announced their withdrawal from the Commonwealth Games, such as Beth Tweedel, the world gymnastics champion and captain of the British gymnastics team in the 2006 Commonwealth Games, Ennis, the new world heptathlon champion, and Radcliffe, a famous British long-distance runner.

20 10 The Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi, India in June of 10 is the largest comprehensive games since the Asian Games in New Delhi in June of 1982, with a total of 7 1 countries and regions participating. Commonwealth Games are held every four years by Commonwealth countries, starting from 1930. The last one was held in Melbourne, Australia in 2006, and the next one will be held in Glasgow in 20 14.

For athletes from Commonwealth countries, the Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi, India in June+10, 5438 is the most important event. Indian Organizing Committee officials said in Sydney on the 20th that New Delhi is very "safe" and all the dangers have been "identified and eliminated", when security personnel such as police will be "everywhere".

Dabary, director of the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee, made the above remarks when he led an Indian delegation to visit Australia.

Last Saturday, at least 10 people were injured in an explosion outside the Indian Cricket Super League. This makes many athletes worry that if they take their families to New Delhi, they may encounter danger outside the less secure venues, and even hesitate to participate in this Commonwealth Games. Dabary promised that the organizing committee paid unprecedented attention to the security of the Games, and there would be no "accidents" inside and outside the Games.

Dabary said, "Delhi is very, very safe. Not only athletes, but also their relatives and friends and other tourists will feel very safe. " He also said: "Our security plan is formulaic, and I can't disclose details. All I can tell you is: please rest assured. "

However, Caskey Ye, the security consultant of the New Delhi Organizing Committee, revealed a detail that the security personnel of this Commonwealth Games will be "everywhere". "When people see many policemen and armed soldiers around to protect them, they will feel very, very safe," Caskey said.
