Organising games - Overrated?

Olympics are here and so are the issues related to it. I have been reading many articles on mismanagement, infrastructural issues and athletes facing problems. I was forced to think of the time, when Delhi organized the Commonwealth Games and there was so much clamor. It was not just from outside but skepticism was inside - within us. Most of the people I know have these words to say - India can never come out of this disease called corruption, It can never organize something properly, it is going to be a shameful event for us.
I am not saying that issues that London has or is facing are same as what Delhi had faced but I think that while organising such events, there are bound to be some kind of mistakes. Many papers mention that there might be proper preparation from London's behalf but their people are not briefed properly. The flag issue with North Korea shows the same. Apart from this, it is the third time London is organising Olympics and that too after 64 years whereas It was the first major event for India.
It is important to be aware of the problems that one can face during such events but it is also important to celebrate and praise what a country has achieved.
The article is for those people who put their heart and soul for the best of the events including the Commonwealth and Olympics!
