A total of 6,081 athletes from 71 Commonwealth nations and dependencies competed in 21 sports and 272 events, making it the largest Commonwealth Games to date. It was also the largest international multi-sport event to be staged in Delhi and India, eclipsing the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982. The opening and closing ceremonies were held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the main stadium of the event. It was the first time that the Commonwealth Games were held in India and the second time they were held in Asia after Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1998. It was also the first time a Commonwealth Republic hosted the games, second in a country not presently headed by British monarch since Malaysia in 1998. The official mascot of the Games was Shera and the official song of the Games, `` Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto '', was composed by celebrated Indian musician A.R. Rahman. Preparation for the Games received widespread international media attention, with criticism being levelled against the organisers for the slow pace of work, as well as issues related to security and hygiene. However, all member nations of the Commonwealth of Nations participated in the event, except Fiji, which is suspended from the Commonwealth, and Tokelau, which did n't send a team, in spite of threats of boycotts and athlete withdrawals. The internationally acclaimed opening ceremony improved the image of the Games, and dispelled negative notions surrounding them, with many observers remarking that they began on an apprehensive note, but were an exceptional experience with a largely positive ending. The President of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, said that India had made a good foundation for a future Olympics bid, which was reiterated by the Australian Ministry of Sports. Commonwealth games Federation chief Mike Fennell stated that `` Delhi delivered a fantastic Games ''. Some observers accused sections of the media of bias, unfair expectations, and negative reporting. The final medal tally was led by Australia. The host nation India achieved its best performance ever at the Games, finishing second overall.

India 's bid motto was New Frontiers and Friendships. India shifted the balance in its favour in the second round of voting with a promise that it would provide US $100,000 to each participating country, along with air tickets, boarding, lodging and transport. The successful 2003 Afro - Asian Games held in Hyderabad was also seen as having shown that India has the resources, infrastructure and technical know - how to stage a big sporting event. Delhi bid for the 1990 and 1994 Commonwealth Games but lost to Auckland and Victoria respectively. The Hamilton bid was Canada 's attempt to hold the games for the fifth time. 2010 Commonwealth Games bidding results City Country Votes Delhi India 46 Hamilton Canada 22 Organising Committee OC main building The organisation of CWG 2010 was beset by delays : in January 2010, the Indian Olympic Association vice-chairman Raja Randhir Singh expressed concern that Delhi was not up to speed in forming and organising its games committee and, following a 2009 Indian Government report showing two - thirds of venues were behind schedule, Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell stated that the slow progress of preparations represented a serious risk to the event. Singh also called for a revamp of the games ' organising committees : Jarnail Singh, a former Secretary of the Government of India, was appointed as the chief executive officer and Indian Olympic Association president Suresh Kalmadi was appointed as head of the committee. In spite of delays and the corruption cases levied on the organisors, commentators stated that they were confident that India will successfully host the games and do so on time. At the launch of the Queen 's Baton Relay in October 2009, the Business Club of India ( BCI ) was formed through the partnership of the organising committee, the Confederation of Indian Industry ( CII ) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry ( FICCI ). The BCI was formed to both market the Games and promote Indian business interests internationally. Costs The initial total budget estimated by the Indian Olympic Association in 2003 for hosting the Games was ₹ 16.2 billion ( US $250 million ). In 2010, however, the official total budget soon escalated to an estimated ₹ 115 billion ( US $1.8 billion ), a figure which excluded non-sports - related infrastructure development. Business Today magazine estimated that the Games cost ₹ 700 billion ( US $11 billion ). The 2010 Commonwealth Games were reportedly the most expensive Commonwealth Games ever. It was also the second most expensive international multi-sport event ever held in Asia, after the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Transport Further information : Transport in Delhi Delhi -- Gurgaon Expressway with Toll Tax Gate, Gurgaon Delhi Metro A four - lane flyway, 2.2 km stretch from Lodhi Road to trans - Yamuna, linking the Games Village to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was constructed which reduced the travelling time between the village and the Stadium to six minutes. In response to concerns over the large number of trains that pass by the Delhi metropolitan region daily, construction of road under - bridges and over-bridges along railway lines have been completed. To expand road infrastructure, flyovers, cloverleaf flyovers, and bridges were built to improve links for the Games and city in general. Road - widening projects were finished with an emphasis being placed on expanding national highways. To improve traffic flow on existing roads, plans were made to make both the inner and outer Ring roads signal free. To support its commitment to mass transport, nine corridors have been identified and were constructed as High Capacity Bus Systems ( for example, one from Ambedkar Nagar to Red Fort ). Six of these corridors were expected to be operational in 2010. Additionally, The Delhi Metro was expanded to accommodate more people and boost the use of public transport during the 2010 games. The metro has extended to Gurgaon and the Noida area. For this large increase in the size of the network, Delhi Metro had deployed 14 tunnel boring machines. Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID ) was used to tag vehicles in venue parking lots to help organise mass parking and increase security. Indira Gandhi International Airport was modernised, expanded, and upgraded. Costing nearly $1.95 billion, Terminal 3 has increased airport passenger capacity to more than 37 million passengers a year by 2010. A new runway has been constructed, allowing for more than 75 flights an hour. At more than 4400 metres long, it is one of Asia 's longest. The airport has been connected to the city via a six - lane expressway ( Delhi -- Gurgaon Expressway ) and the $580 million Delhi Airport Metro Express line. Logo for the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games being recognised as the first ever `` Green Commonwealth Games '' Green Games The organisers signed a Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU ) with the United Nations Environment Programme to show the intention to host a `` sustainable games '' and to take the environment into consideration when constructing and renovating venues. Thyagaraj Stadium is intended to be a key example of environmentally considered construction. In opposition to this intention, a number of environmental controversies arose and the adverse ecological impact of various aspects of the games have been protested by city residents. City residents filed a public interest petition to the Supreme Court of India against the felling of ' heritage ' trees in the Siri Fort area to make way for Games facilities. The court appointed architect Charles Correa to assess the impact and he severely criticised the designs on ecological grounds. In spite of this, in April 2009 the Supreme Court allowed the construction on the grounds that `` much time had been lost '' and `` the damage already caused to the environment could not be undone ''. The Commonwealth Games village, located on the flood plains of the Yamuna, has also been the subject of controversies about the flouting of ecological norms. After a prolonged legal battle between city residents and the state, construction was permitted to continue on the basis of an order of the Supreme Court of India in July 2009, which held that the government had satisfied the requirements of `` due process of the law '' by issuing public notice of its intention to begin construction work in September 1999 ( a date four years prior to the acceptance of Delhi 's bid for the games ). Other preparation In preparation for an influx of English - speaking tourists for the Games, the Delhi government implemented a program to teach English, and the necessary skills for serving tourists, to key workers -- such as cab drivers, security workers, waiters, porters, and service staff. In the two years prior to the Games 2,000 drivers were taught English. In addition to Delhi, the Indian Government plans to expand the program to teach people in local tourist destinations in other parts of India. HOHO Delhi Bus Inauguration in Delhi To facilitate hassle - free sightseeing in Delhi, Delhi Tourism undertook the launch of India 's very first Hop on Hop Off bus known as HOHO DELHI, modelled on popular concept of transport facilities in Western countries. The bus, which is equipped with state - of - the - art technologies like digital video screens and GPS systems, also had trained guides who were responsible for giving information about the sites. To prepare for the energy - usage spike during the Games and to end chronic power cuts in Delhi, the government undertook a large power - production initiative to increase power production to 7,000 MW ( from the current 4,500 MW ). To achieve this goal, the government streamlined the power distribution process, direct additional energy to Delhi, and constructed new power plants. In addition to physical preparation, free accommodation for all athletes at the Games Village, as well as free transport and other benefits, such as a free trip to the famed Taj Mahal and a reserved lane for participants on selected highways was provided The Games Village will house over 8,000 athletes and officials for the Games. Indian states will train state police forces to handle tourist - related issues and deploy them prior to the Games. A large - scale construction and `` beautification '' project has resulted in the demolition of hundreds of homes and the displacement of city dwellers -- at least 100,000 of New Delhi 's 160,000 homeless people have removed from shelters, some of which have been demolished. Bamboo screens have been erected around city slums to separate visitors from the sights of the slums, a practice which human rights campaigners have deemed dishonest and immoral. The Delhi High Court implemented a series of `` mobile courts '' to be dispatched throughout Delhi to relocate migrant beggars from Delhi streets. The mobile courts would consider each beggar on a case - by - case basis to determine whether the beggar should be sent back to his / her state of residence, or be permitted to remain in government - shelters. Symbols Mascot The official mascot for the 2010 Commonwealth Games is Shera, an anthropomorphised tiger. His name comes from `` Sher '', a Hindi word meaning tiger ( Hindi `` Bagh '' means tiger. However, Sher is colloquially used for both lion and tiger ). The logo and the look for the games were designed by Idiom Design and Consulting. There is one song for Shera also composed by the popular composer of INDIA the song contains initiative `` Shera Shera '' The mascot Shera visited many schools across Delhi to create enthusiasm and interest for the Commonwealth Games being held. Official song Main article : Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto The official song of the 2010 Commonwealth Games `` Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto '' was composed and performed by the Indian musician A.R. Rahman. The song 's title is based on the slogan of the games, `` Come out and play ''. The song is penned by Mehboob in Hindi with a sprinkling of English words. It was released on 28 August 2010. The music video, directed by Bharath Bala was released on 23 September and featured a shorter version of the song. A.R. Rahman also gave a live concert for the theme song in Gurgaon, Haryana which was previewed on various news channels. The official video of the song has been released on YouTube. However this song was not much appreciated by the people as it was being compared with FIFA WC, South Africa 's official song and Waka - Waka of Shakira. Queen 's baton Relay The Queen 's Baton Relay began when the baton, which contains Elizabeth II 's message to the athletes, left Buckingham Palace on 29 October 2009. The baton arrived at the 2010 Games opening ceremony on 3 October 2010, after visiting the other 54 nations of the Commonwealth and travelling throughout India, reaching millions of people to join in the celebrations for the Games. The baton arrived in India on 25 June 2010 through the Wagah Border crossing from Pakistan. The baton was designed by Michael Foley, a graduate of the National Institute of Design. It is a triangular section of aluminium twisted into a helix shape and then coated with coloured soils collected from all the regions of India. The coloured soils are a first for the styling of a Queen 's Baton. A jewel - encrusted box was used to house the Queen 's message, which was laser - engraved onto a miniature 18 carat gold leaf -- representative of the ancient Indian ' patras. The Queen 's baton is ergonomically contoured for ease of use. It is 664 millimetres ( 26.1 in ) high, 34 millimetres ( 1.3 in ) wide at the base, and 86 millimetres ( 3.4 in ) wide at the top and weighs 1,900 grams ( 67 oz ). The Queen 's baton has a number of technological features including : The ability to capture images and sound Global positioning system ( GPS ) technology so the baton 's location can be tracked Embedded light emitting diodes ( LEDs ) which will change into the colours of a country 's flag whilst in that country A text messaging capability so that people can send messages of congratulations and encouragement to the baton bearers throughout the relay Calendar The official calendar for the 2010 Commonwealth Games is as follows.

Main article : 2010 Commonwealth Games medal table Only the top ten nations by medal rank are shown in this medal table. Nations are ranked first by count of gold medals, then silver medals, then bronze medals. The ranking in this table is consistent with International Olympic Committee convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won ( in this context, a `` nation '' is an entity represented by an NOC ). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code. In Boxing two bronze medals were awarded in each weight class. Additionally there was a tie of three athletes for the third place in the women 's pole vault in athletics meant that three bronze medals were awarded. Therefore, the total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals.

Events took place at 12 competition venues. A total of 20 training venues were used in the Games. Of these 20, one was used for archery ; three for aquatics ; two for lawn bowls ; two for netball ; eight for rugby sevens, including seven venues within Delhi University ; two for shooting ; one for squash ; two for table tennis ; one for weightlifting, three for wrestling and two for tennis. The Commonwealth Games Village provided accommodation and training for athletes of the Games, and was opened from 23 September to 18 October 2010. It is located along the east bank of the River Yamuna, in proximity to competition and training venues as well as city landmarks, and is spread over an area of 63.5 hectares ( 157 acres ). Comprising five main zones -- the Residential Zone, the International Zone, the Training Area, the Main Dining and the Operational Zone -- the Games Village, which is a non-smoking zone, is universally accessible particularly to accommodate para-sport athletes. There were three main non-competition venues in the Games, besides the Commonwealth Games Village ( see above ) ; namely the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Headquarters ( OC CWG Delhi 2010 ), the Main Media Centre, and the Games Family Hotel, Hotel Ashok. Concerns and controversies Main article : Concerns and controversies over the 2010 Commonwealth Games Several concerns were raised over the preparations of the Games and these included excessive budget overruns, likelihood of floods in Delhi due to heavy monsoon rains, infrastructural compromise, poor living conditions at the Commonwealth Games Village, delays in construction of the main Games ' venues, the withdrawal of prominent athletes, widespread corruption by officials of the Games ' Organising Committee and possibility of a terrorist attack by militants. The negative pre-event publicity and heavy security presence played in part in low spectator attendance during the initial events. However the numbers picked up as the Games progressed. Formation of investigation Committee The day after the conclusion of the Games, the Indian Government announced the formation of a special committee to probe the allegations of corruption and mismanagement against the Organising Committee. The probe committee will be led by former Comptroller and Auditor General of India VK Shunglu. This probe will be in addition to the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate, and Central Vigilance Commission investigations already underway. The Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh had promised in mid-August, when reports of the bungling first surfaced, that corrupt officials will be given `` severe and exemplary '' punishment after the Games. The probe committee is tasked with looking into `` all aspects of organising and conducting '' the Games, and `` to draw lessons from it. '' It was given three months to submit its report, but the report was never publicly released. The Indian Sports Ministry has directed the Organising Committee of the 2010 Commonwealth Games ( led by Suresh Kalmadi ), to not release any staffer from their positions till the probe committee 's work is finished. Legacy One of the aims of hosting the Commonwealth Games was to build world - class athletics infrastructure within the country, expose audiences to top - level non-cricket competition and encourage the youth to `` Come out and play '' ( the official theme of the games ). Building a sporting culture that looks beyond cricket is seen as an important task for a country which won its first ever individual Olympic gold medal in Beijing 2008, despite having the world 's second - largest population. Sebastian Coe, former Olympic gold medalist and chairman of the 2012 Summer Olympics Organising Committee, was at the stadium during the 4 × 400 m women 's relay and described the audience 's cheers for the racers as `` potentially the moment that could change the course of athletics in Asia, the moment that could inspire thousands of people who 'd never even seen an athletics track before to get involved... To build a truly global capacity in sport, you have to take it round the world -- out of your own backyard. That means taking risks and facing challenges, but it has to be done. '' Films on Delhi 2010 - Dangal ( 2016 ) The Games as in the film Dangal Geeta Phogat became India 's first female wrestler ever to win Gold at a Commonwealth Games in Delhi 2010, where she won the Gold medal ( 55 kg ) while her sister Babita Kumari won a Silver medal ( 51 kg ). Their story was featured in the 2016 Indian film Dangal released on December 23, 2016. Parts of the 2010 Commonwealth Games setting were rebuilt for the film. Dangal is the Hindi term for a wrestling competition. Dangal became the highest - grossing film ever at the Indian ( domestic ) box office on January 07, 2017 and went on to collect over ₹ 2000 crores ( US $ 286 million ) in box office revenues worldwide.
