Australia's discus world champion Dani Samuels will give the Commonwealth Games a miss if security risks become too high but Olympic silver medallist hurdler Sally McLellan said he would travel to India come what may.
Security has become a huge issue for the October 3-14 Games in Delhi with athletes from across the Commonwealth developing a cold feet about travelling to India.
"If the danger is extremely, extremely high and they're telling people not to go I would make that sacrifice," said Samuels, who became the youngest ever female world champion in the event last year.
"Hopefully I'll have a long career and there will be plenty more Commonwealth Games. Waiting another four years won't kill me," she said.
