For Melbourne Commonwealth Games a athletes received $20 per day. This allowence was $35 during 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games
and $50 at the Athens Olympics.
Indian govt. paid 40 Crores Rs to all bollywood acters & acteress to appear in closing cermony Melbourne Commonwealth Games just for 11 minutes.
I am not sure how much govt paid to medal winners!!
This is purely a waste of money which should have been spend on improving sports infrastructure and facilities for sports person wasted on getting some good for nothing bolloywood stars. These guys are already paid very well why can't they do these events for free when doing for India.
