all Australian athletes for the Commonwealth Games arrived in New Delhi on Monday morning hoping to remain unaffected by the troubled build-up to the event.
Australia's lawn bowls team landed in the national capital in the wee hours of Monday morning.
They are well aware of the criticism that has engulfed the Games Village but the Aussies said they would not form an opinion before having a look at it themselves.
"We've heard reports but we'd like to see for ourselves. We're going in without expectations and what we see is what we get," said one of the player.
Later on Monday, Australia's netball and gymnastics teams will also land here for the 3rd-14th October event.
So far, three Australian athletes have pulled out of the Games -- cyclist Travis Meyer, table tennis player Stephanie Sang and discus world champion Dani Samuels. (SS-27/09)
