A day after the Games ended in New Delhi, The Age said: “The people of Delhi have done a terrific job, and are entitled to be proud. Faced with a lot of hurdles, they’ve pulled it off admirably.”

However, it criticised the Games’ Indian organisers.

“They have let their country down,” it said. But “neither the people of Delhi, nor India as a whole, can be held accountable for the incompetence of (Commonwealth Games) Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi.

“Locals have been left to pick up the pieces, and done so manfully.”
