Here's a look at the Olympic Village in Tokyo

the olympic village, A city within a city built for the world's best athletes for the Tokyo Games, thousands of olympians for more than 200 countries will be living here preparing for the defining moment in their sporting careers. Normally a place for partying and celebration. This year it's going to be an antisocial sanitized bubble full of covid testing, health centers and staying far apart from one another. At the athletes village plaza, there's everything the olympians will need, cafe bank, internet, hair salon and much, much more normally place for athletes to hang out, mix and mingle instead, there are signs everywhere reminding people to wear their masks and socially distanced themselves. But the majority of Japan still don't want the olympics to happen actually. A protest is ongoing right behind me as their debut in the olympic village to the press, there are 3800 rooms of these 21 buildings to house the athletes. This is a replica of the athletes room. Athletes have to share the room, which some public health experts say increases the risk of spreading covid. The olympians are also going to be sleeping on beds made out of cardboard recyclable, but don't worry, they're extremely sturdy and can hold more than £400. Tomorrow athletes are contact traced and tested for covid every day. If they test positive for covid, they have to come to this fever clinic to get tested again. If that covid test comes back positive yet again, they then have to take dedicated transport to an isolation facility outside of this olympic village and they then lose their chance to compete. They're only allowing two thirds of capacity here at the dining hall and normally place for meeting and chatting. Instead, athletes are asked to dine alone separated by plastic barriers and to leave. As soon as they finish eating after wiping down their seats and the athletes gym, where they have to keep their mask on at all times and will be separated by these barriers. Athletes can only arrive five days before their competition and have to leave within two condoms will still be passed out per tradition, but there are only given as athletes are leaving the village. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build all this after the Games, they'll be turned into residential apartments. But before that this is going to house athletes for an olympics like no other Selena wang CNN Tokyo.
