NZOC not panicking over Delhi

The New Zealand Olympic Committee continues to dismiss fears over October's Commonwealth Games.

The Indian government has urged Commonwealth Games organisers to sack two officials at the centre of corruption allegations in another blow to the troubled event two months out from the opening ceremony.

Reports of security and venue concerns out of Delhi continue to plague the build-up but NZOC secretary general Barry Maister says they're refusing to be swayed by negative talk.

Maister says they still have high hopes Delhi will be a unique and positive experience. He says a delegation recently visited Delhi and were satisfied with the progress being made.
