00:00Hi, so the village just opened today officially for the athletes. We're currently waiting
00:04for them to arrive. It's very lively, everyone is super happy to be here and very excited
00:09to be sharing this time with the athletes and the staff.
00:14And tell me Jade, what's the most impressive thing you've seen about this village?
00:17The most impressive thing for me is definitely the buildings and the flags and the nations
00:21coming together. It's really starting to look like a World Wilds building together.
00:26Yeah, and I mean, you know what, we have 14,500 people staying here as I mentioned,
00:3016,000 mattresses, a gym that's 3,000 square meters big, 350 machines there. I don't know
00:38how I'm remembering all these numbers. And I also heard that there's a salon that has 20
00:43hairstyles designed specifically for the athletes, right?
00:47Yes, there's a salon and it's the first village with nursing for women with children.
