Cal Athletics in Beijing - Olympic Village (Part 7)

Jigar Mehta, a UC Berkeley alum, is in Beijing and capturing a behind the scenes look of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Here are some of his notes that correspond to the video. For more updates and information, please visit http://calbears.com-----------... probably the most talked about place at the Olympic Games, and you can't scalp a ticket to get in, it's for Olympians only.The Olympic village is truly a mini village with housing for 16000 people, a massive dining hall, and lots of entertainment options for the athletes. However, the best part of the village is the opportunity to meet athletes from around the world, if your clever you could make enough friends that you would never have to pay for another hotel room when you travel!Everyone wants to know what it is like on the inside, and since I couldn't get into the village I gave Martin Maric (Discus-Crotia) andAmin Nikfar (Shot Put-Iran) a video camera for a day.
