Games: Athletes village open for business

Forget the mosquitoes - the Commonwealth Games athletes village is officially open for businesss.

It may be a breeding ground for mozzies, but England's chef de mission Craig Hunter believes the village in Delhi is better than the at the Beijing Olympics.

It's now officially open.

After months of criticism there is now plenty of support for the Games.

Bowls NZ boss Kerry Clark, who is the sport's technical delegate for the Games, is confident the venue will be fully operational.

Clark says there's still work being done, but they've never had any concerns that the venue wouldn't be finished.

The Games village has over 1,100 flats, an athletics track, a gym and two swimming pools.
