Colourful end to Commonwealth Games

MEMORABLE MOMENTS: A spectacular closing ceremony brought Commonwealth Games 2010 to a dazzling conclusion at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday. The giant areostat displaying the Indian tri-colour reflected the country's success, in both staging the event and excelling on the field of play. With 38 golds, India, edging ahead of England, took the second place in the medal table for the first time. The Indian competitors, breaching the formidable hundred barrier, bagged 101 medals in all.
They sang and danced well into the night on Thursday as the curtains came down on the 12-day Commonwealth Games that ended in an unprecedented medal haul and number two position for India in the medals tally.
