"What we did, being concerned about athlete welfare, we brought them into the stadium in the pre-show". Despite this new-found bravado, India's best still lags behind in many events.
Sadly, in this case, it's highly unlikely you can seek a refund for the closing ceremony because of the terms and conditions set out by the Games on their website under section 60 and unless the event was cancelled, re-scheduled or significantly re-located, there's little chance of recourse. "They were way too long tonight. But I felt good that Chad acknowledged my input from the past". Organizing committee chairman Beattie apologized on Monday in the face of a barrage of criticism, saying "we got it wrong". "It is very simple - I should not have spoken". "They made the decision not to have the athletes enter the stadium". Yes we did get it wrong. They made a decision not to have athletes enter the stadium. It said it needed to get the athletes on the ground earlier to accommodate the athletes leaving the event early. Last night, it wasn't to be. I positioned myself where I could isolate him against a black background with lights behind to make the water drops stand out and then I shot it at a 60th/a sec to make the drops turns into lines of water. Beattie said he planned to apologize to Fearnley.
Channel Seven's commentators said athletes were denied the spotlight.
Seven Network, the Australian television rights holders for the Games, publicly aired their frustration at the athletes' parade - traditionally a core part of any Ceremony - not being broadcast.
"People are thinking that Channel 7 has chosen not to show pictures of athletes or not to show the flag bearer, Kurt Fearnley, or other flag bearers", said Griggs.
"What we were trying to do was to look after the athletes because they didn't come into the actual broadcast time, they would have been stuck in a field or paddock somewhere. We missed out on all of that".

IPL 2018: RCB, Mumbai Indians meet in strugglers' game
With RCB, as it nearly always is, they will hope the star-studded batting with the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers clicks. Both the teams go into this match with a decent batting line up which could steal the game away from their opponents anytime.
Large sections of seating were empty, while a number of athletes slipped away to the bar before the ceremony had reached its halfway point.
Amber Pitty said ticket prices may have been to blame. When I spoke at the opening of the Games 11 days ago, I asked the assembled athletes to grasp the opportunity of the Commonwealth Games and create their own history and fulfil their dreams.
"All of a sudden I saw the guy to my left come through and I was a bit like "woah", Arnott told Reuters.
George Wilson provided a less than ringing endorsement for the ceremony, calling it "not bad".
It wasn't the most ideal sunset I was hoping for but once the light faded and I could balance the lighting of the stadium and the sky it made for a satisfying general view over the beach volleyball venue.
