Delhi games 'a positive experience' for Manx athletes

by isleofman.com 14th October 2010

It's almost all over at the Commonwealth Games in India, with the closing ceremony due to take place this evening (Thursday).

It's been a difficult competition for the Isle of Man, although injuries and withdrawals from Delhi didn’t prevent Manx contestants winning two bronze medals.

With the focus of the media on the state of the athletes' village, as well as security concerns, organisers say it’s been an overwhelming success.

Manx Radio's sports editor Tim Glover, who has been in Delhi with the Isle of Man team, says it’s been a positive experience despite initial concerns (play audio file):

The Manx team is due back at Isle of Man Airport around tea time tomorrow (Friday).
