Australian Commonwealth Games chief Perry Crosswhite said the bomb attack that injured at least eight people at a weekend Indian Premier League cricket match was not a direct threat to October's Games in New Delhi.
Crosswhite, speaking at Australia's Games track and field selection trials in Perth, said he had not been contacted by any athletes expressing concerns that the Bangalore attack would deter them from competing in New Delhi.
On Sunday police in Bangalore defused two crudely made bombs found next to the 40,000-seater Chinnaswamy Stadium where the two blasts on Saturday sparked panic among spectators, a senior officer said there. "These things continue to happen and they will continue all the way to the Games, but (security experts) don't see it as direct threat to the Games," Crosswhite told reporters.
"It's just another example of unrest in the country and that part of the world and no one has claimed any responsibility."
Australia's discus world champion Dani Samuels said security at major sporting events continued to be an issue for athletes. "Back when the Sydney Track Classic was on (in February), there was all the uproar in the media about security (in India)," she said. "It is an issue, but it is an issue with every competition you go to pretty much.
"The Commonwealth Games is six months away, you can't say anything now - you train through and when it comes to the time to get on the plane you decide."
Australian chef de mission Steve Moneghetti said he would advise squad athletes to focus on their training.
"We'll be telling them that we'll do our due diligence and at this point of time, as an athletics team, it's exciting to be selected," he said. "We'll tell them to train on and we'll make sure we look after all those other factors that will guarantee they will be in a safe and secure environment in Delhi."
