Google marks start of Commonwealth Games 2014 Glasgow with colorful doodle

Google has celebrated the beginning of 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a colorful doodle on its homepage.

The doodle, which spells out Google using athletes in mid-game, represents the competitive aspect of the event featuring men wrestling, two cyclists, a hammer thrower, a badminton player and a bowler, the Independent reported.

Earlier, former athlete Allison Curbishley became the last person to bear the Queen's Baton, as it ended its 10-month journey across the Commonwealth journey at Queen's Park in Glasgow, while the opening ceremony will feature 3,000 cast members including Scottish musicians Rod Stewart, Lulu and James Grant and 4,500 athletes from the 71 participating nations and territories.
