According to this article, they really didn't pull it off so well.

Whatever is clogging drains in the athletes' village, it's the latest fiasco to embarrass the Games' Indian organizers, already reeling from controversies over dirty swimming pools that may have sickened competitors, poor construction of sports venues, the collapse of a pedestrian bridge, and athletes quarters deemed "uninhabitable" by foreigners.

At the opening ceremony last weekend, spectators booed the head of India's organizing committee, and Australian officials complained that their athletes had been "treated like cattle" and forced to endure an hourlong wait in a stiflingly hot tunnel. Workers are scrambling to mend cracks discovered in the Games' running tracks.
