The money siphoned off will not be recoverable) what I lwill remember this CWG will be for 2 sterling performances. The first is that of the women's 4x400 relay gold medal effort. What a splendid run by Ashwini Akkunji in the 3rd leg. She was 10-15m behind the leader when given the baton, but established a lead of 5m at the end of her run, reminiscent of Usain Bolt's magic run in the Olympics when he won by a long distance. At least Bolt had a very very good reason to run fast. He had someone called tyson GAY running after him :D<br />The second will be for the amazing performance by the young Ashish Kumar in the gymnastics event. Indians were no where near world class before this event, but here he was vaulting and doing the floor exercises like a world champion.Kesarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448455147139265506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968974461683300380.post-5878598785440924032010-10-22T14:09:53.589-07:002010-10-22T14:09:53.589-07:00hey nidhi,
