New Delhi: Here's a selection of the best quotes from the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which closed in New Delhi on Thursday.
"We make a lot of confusion, we love the confusion and we muddle through somehow. If today's show is any indication, the Commonwealth Games will be great." - V.K. Sikund, a retired railway worker, after the opening ceremony.
"Yes, Princess Diana was there." - local organising committee chief Suresh Kalmadi after the opening ceremony.
"The athletes weighed themselves on the test scales, and found themselves to be over. They got back to the sauna trying to lose some weight and when they came back, they weighed more than the last reading." - Australia team spokesman John Gatfield on the chaos at the boxing weigh-in caused by faulty scales.
"Yesterday was the first day of the Games. Today we are sorting everything out and from tomorrow we will have a free flow of everything." - Kalmadi on day two.
