After bridge, ceiling caves in at Commonwealth Games stadium...

A ceiling has caved in at the main Commonwealth Games stadium in Delhi today, heaping further embarrassment on India's preparations for the event.

The ceiling collapse comes less than 24 hours after a footbridge linking the stadium to a car park collapsed yesterday, injuring 26 labourers struggling to complete the project on time.

The latest failure piles more pressure on the Games Organising Committee before the opening ceremony - due to take place at the same stadium - on October 3 and comes after three of England’s biggest athletics stars pulled out of the competition.

Olympic 400m gold medallist Christine Ohuruogu, world champion triple jumper Phillips Idowu and Commonwealth 1,500m champion Lisa Dobriskey have said they will not go to Delhi. More + images...
