Australian swimming star Stephanie Rice, could not defend her Commonwealth titles over 200 and 400 metres she won in Melbourne 2006.

The 21-year-old from Brisbane, may skip this year’s Delhi Commonwealth Games, because security risks are too high in India.

"it's something that I have to give serious consideration. And if there is any serious or credible risk, then that will prompt a rethink. I just want to see what transpires in coming months," she told to natonal media.
