Cook Islands team shows solidarity with Organising Committee

New Delhi, Sep 28 (India Report)
It&aposs okay for the Cook Islands contingent if the TV remotes in their rooms at the Games Village are not working properly, if they have no phones to stay in touch or the wi-fi station is also not functioning.
They are not complaining instead want to put all their energy into things which will ultimately matter -focusing on practice and winning medals.
After a 19-hour long journey from their South Pacific Ocean country to India, they reached the Village at 5:00 am this morning.
After checking into their room, they encountered problems but the Sir Geoffry Henry, President of the Commonwealth Games Association of Cook Islands, chose to dismiss them as little ones.
"It happens. We are not looking at it that way. We are interested in concentrating on just sport and win medals. But yes one thing, we would like to have that-the six managers, who are in our contingent get the mobile phones, so that we can get in touch,"Sir Geoffry Henry told media.
Henry spoke just after the flag hoisting ceremony along with that of Brunei Darussalam, a South East Asian country.
About 40 Cook Islands athletes will participate in six events-Tennis, Boxing, lawn Ball, Net Ball, Weightlifting and Athletics.
While addressing the gathering during the ceremony, he expressed solidarity with the embattled Organising Committee.
"We would like to congratulate you for the commitment to develop all required facilities. Hope it will be a memorable event and for years it will be remembered,"he said.
At the flag hoisting ceremony of the two nations at the International Zone, students from the Summer Fields and Vandana International schools of New Delhi put up a decent traditional dance and music shows.
A group of about 40 people from the Cook Islands and a small gathering of Brunei Darussalam enjoyed the evening cultural show.
Games Village Mayor, Dalbir Singh welcomed the officials from the two countries.
Tomorrow South Africa and Wales&aposflag hoisting ceremony will take place.
