Do you want to see how the Athletes’ Village look in Beijing?


A general view of the Athletes’ Olympic Village.
Located about a 25-minute walk northwest of the two centerpiece venues for the Games — the Bird’s Nest stadium and swimming’s Water Cube — the 163-acre complex accommodate between 16,000-17,000 athletes and officials.

A view of the athletes accommodation for Team Great Britain members.
Each apartment is modestly decorated in marble and wood, with balconies overlooking walkways and courtyards.

The red telephone booths, one of London’s trademarks, seem to have found their way into the British part of the village.
Unlike some of Beijing’s venues, the architecture in the Athletes Village is aimed at utility rather than art.

Rest is a crucial part of the athletes’ training programme, as the placard on the door shows!

Mark Bellofiore of the Australian Olympic team relaxes in the Athletes Village and watches the Bledisloe Cup rugby match between the New Zealand All Blacks and the Australian Wallabies.

The village has a restaurant that can feed 5,000-6,000 people, a library, a clinic, swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, jogging tracks, shopping areas and coffee shops.

Bradley Shaw, Dave Kosoof, Robin McRae and Greg Nicol of the New Zealand Olympic team relax at their apartmen.
The three-bedroom units, meant to accommodate six, measure 1,830 square feet.

The Swiss section of the Athletes’ Village is adorned with a poster of Roger Federer.
But the world number one quit the village, claiming he was being mobbed by the other athletes.

German rowing team members Britta Oppelt, Marie-Luise Draeger and Manuela Lutze practise at the Village gym.
The village will be converted into a high-end residential community after renovations, following the Paralympics, to guarantee its legacy.
