This week the media were given a peak inside the athletes’ quarters for the Games. On show was a sparse but comfortable-looking apartment in a low-rise grey and white brick building.
It’s a little drab from the outside, but hey, when you buy a house you always check out the kitchen and bathrooms first. Going on the bathroom test, I reckon the accommodation looks ok.
Mind you the rooms might be a tad on the small side if you’re weightlifter, or basketballer!
The big question is will the athletes, in particular, some of the high flying tennis or basketball stars want to stay?
After the Paralympics the village will be converted into a “high-end residential community”.
Apart from facilities for worship for “five major religions” — Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism — the village will provide Chinese cultural performances, including tai chi and other martial arts exercises, for athletes’ entertainment, organisers said.
Well the LA Times was certainly impressed.
