A lot of people want to know about our rooms in the Village. They are very basic. None of the rooms have TVs or Internet access but they are clean and brand new.

The Olympic Village is a community and the best part is that you may be sharing a street with many different countries. Where else can that happen but the Olympics? I guess that is what the Olympics are designed to do, bring the world together. This whole thing is bigger than medals. It is bigger than marketing campaigns. It's about the world coming together as one. I am so happy to be here and represent my country.
