When did India hosted the commonwealth games? And what were the embarrassing news that happened during that event if you don't me asking.

The usual things poor working standards coruption but the thing I remember the most

"A New Zealand television station has come in for fresh criticism over its handling of breakfast host Paul Henry's Indian slurs after it continued prominently to feature a clip on its website in which he ridicules the name of Commonwealth Games troubleshooter Sheila Dikshit."


He also says the name "Dick Shit" is "so appropriate" because she is Indian."

The fact that Asian nations, like Japan, China are winning gold medals in sports like snowboarding and skiing, means China has a strong chance to dominate some of the more traditional winter sports, not some fringe shit like Luge or Bobsled.

Su Yiming winning Gold + Near Gold robbery is absolutely CRAZY given how not popular snowboarding is in China (it's all about skiing).

More would show up. Su Yiming only trained for three years and he is already medaling. Imagine what an additional four years of scientific training could do for other Chinese talents. From what I've heard Japan and China have started using indoor training mattes for snowboarding/skiing training. These have 80 fidelity of real snow and allow athletes to practice aggressive maneuvers all year round. This has yet to catch on in U.S. and Canada.

Check out this fake snow ski resort in Chengdu. Eileen Gu has trained and practiced here before the Beijing Olympics. When she trained overseas, she came across the same mushroom fake snow made in Chengdu. After she heard they have such a fake snow ski resort in Chengdu, she went there for training.

Tells you about how good these fake snow are. Honestly, I've never heard about this kind of materials and you can build ski resort with it. It also bodes well for Chinese to take on skiing in the Southern provinces. I consider myself fairly well informed about goings-on in China in general, but this kind of winter sports craze is still a surprise to me.

It might be a forlorn wish because the sport seems to be dominated by the Nordic countries, it would be nice to see them pop up on the victory dais in the biathlons
