We are getting out to training. There are no major headaches at all," she said. In India, the Commonwealth Games remain controversial.

Protesters took to the streets of the capital yesterday for a second straight day of demonstrations, demanding a boycott of the entire event. A coalition of more than 20 groups calling itself the "Anti-Commonwealth Games Front" marched holding placards reading "boycott the poverty games" and "we want schools, not stadiums". Earlier in the week Indian activists, upset with what they claimed were racist remarks by the Commonwealth Games Federation chief executive, Mike Hooper, had burned an effigy of the New Zealander and shouted slogans.

Carrying placards that said "Racist Hooper Go Back", they claimed that Hooper had reportedly made remarks blaming the Indian population for poor preparation that included incomplete venues and unlivable conditions at the athletes' village when some delegations began arriving last week. Hooper has denied making any offensive remarks. Heartened by apparent recent progress and despite the ongoing problems, dramatic cost overruns, allegations of corruption and the long delays in building venues, the organising committee chairman, Suresh Kalmadi, said he had not lost hope of bringing the Olympics to India.
