Commonwealth Games venues behind schedule

Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell is disappointed two major venues for the 2010 games have missed construction deadlines.

All venues being built for the Games in New Delhi are supposed to be completed by March 31 next year, but the coordination commission says the venues for athletics and swimming will not be ready until June.

The games are due to begin on October 3.

Fennell says the delays will have an impact on the organising committee's operational planning.
