Humorous story...
A few months ago she was training at a park in California when she was taunted by some racist-asian-hater-dude.
Things could have ended badly for that dude.

YT has some vids of behind the scenes.

Olympic Village, is grouped by countries. Great Brittan has their own condo building and so does the USA. Smaller countries share, but separate by floors.  Obviously you don't want people to fight, like if Israel and Palestine shared the same floor. Palestinians won't even judo the Israeli's and rather take a forfeit than touch them.

The food cafeteria is 24/7. All kinds of food, but shitty Asian type bacon (not crispy or brown. Looks more like boiled bacon, which is common in Asia). Sports drinks, coca cola, Fanta, coffee, fruits, all free. They have dividers for each seat at the cafe type benches.  But the pastries are all in the open, which I would think would be either served or individually sealed.

They have  a laundry service that has a turn around time of 8 hours.  Shuttles to the various event areas and even driverless small buses.  The cardboard beds can hold 2 people (GB swimmer tested it with his roommate).

Only saw USA and GB, but seems like every athlete gets a goodie bag.  Stuff like Oakley shades (4 of them), Galaxy phone, Ralph Lauren clothing, Nike shoes and slippers.

I was watching MyKayla Skinners YT and she has to pack all her own stuff. Like tape, uniforms, etc... They don't have an equipment manager like how pro sports do. Basically just show up and everything is set in your locker for you.  Half of 1 suitcase was filled with just athletic tape.

Today is the final day.
U.S. has more gold than China and way higher overall medal count.
 :shaka: :D

And how about those pre-pubescent Chinese divers, eh?
Talk about barely legal...

Taiwan didnt have a real team. They were known as china taipei. They protested this, but the ccp has too much influence. And hong kong was known as hong kong china.

When taiwan won, the olympic anthem was played. Same song the russians used. Hong kong played the china anthem.

Some members of the USA shooting team are here in Hawaii, primarily as a recruiting drive.
