Let the Olympic Village challenge begin!

 

First confirmed neighbors -

 

Hungary's Nemzeti Sport writes that Hungarian athletes are on floor 3,4 and 5 of building 19, and Morocco & Switzerland are on the floor above them

It feels a recipiemfor disaster to have the village open over a week before completions for most begin.

I think it's going to be a test of the discipline of the athletes, and the control the respective NOCs have over them. I suspect some teams are going to hit very serious problems at various points, while some teams will profit - I expect the teams from more disciplinarian countries may prosper, e.g. China, while I can see Scandinavian Teams or the like suffering, as they are admirably freespirited folk usually. Countries with large vaccine uptakes will probably do ok, and GBR fits in that category.

I saw that for Fencing it will be done every day before the competitions, and if i remember correctly wrestling is the same idea, that leaves Judo and Taekwondo, and last time Judo was 2 days before, so that would be on the 21st

Scandinavians are like GB with good vaccine uptakes I believe
