The Commonwealth Games are being held in Delhi, but you would hardly know it. The media coverage has been muted, especially since the Games got under way. Before that, the coverage was mainly about how bad the venues where and whether it was safe for athletes to attend. Those problems appear to have not materialised. I always felt uncomfortable about that, and the decision by some precious types to withdraw. They were selected to represent their country, but turned down the honor because of perceived risk to themselves.
