Olympic NBA players don t live in the Olympic Village

People haven't lived in it since Mengyi.

That's how people drag.

No way.

If they don't enter the Olympic Village, they are arrogant and special.

Athletes are not required to live in the Olympic Village, but the Olympic Village is a centralized accommodation for athletes and coaches participating in the Olympic Games in the host city. The Olympic Village has a long history, and it is responsible for all Olympic and Paralympic athletes, as well as services in terms of accommodation, catering, entertainment, and leisure.

Athletes generally live in the Olympic Village after travelling to the host city of the Olympic Games, but they do not have to live in the Olympic Village. In previous Olympic Games, there are also athletes who do not live in the Olympic Village, for example, the United States men's basketball team did not live in the Olympic Village in 16 years, but lived on a cruise ship.

Although it is not mandatory for athletes to live in the Olympic Village, the purpose of the Olympic Village is to provide services to all Olympic and Paralympic athletes, in terms of accommodation, catering, entertainment, leisure, etc., and living in the Olympic Village is free of charge.

Features of the Olympic Village

The Olympic Village is generally in use two weeks before the opening of the Games and ends three days after closing. When delegations from all countries stay in the Olympic Village, they need to hold a ceremony to enter the village, with the village head giving a welcome speech, then the head of the delegation giving a speech of thanks, and then playing the national anthem and raising the national flag representing the country.

After the Olympics, athletes from all over the world returned to their countries and sponsors were withdrawn. Without athletes and sponsors, the Olympic Village was empty, but the Olympic Village was not really idle, and now it has been used as a high-end residential house for the society.

What has become of the Olympic Village, which was dedicated to foreign athletes in the Olympic Games?

At the beginning of the Beijing Olympics, the Olympic Village, which was built for athletes from all over the world to live for free, what happened now?

Now the Olympic Village is a real estate that has been snapped up by the rich, the geographical environment and transportation are very convenient, and the living and investment are very good.

The Olympic Village, which was specially used for foreign athletes in the Olympic Games, has now become a high-end residential area for the public, and the superior geographical location has made many Beijing residents buy houses one after another!

The Olympic Village is invested as real estate, and its good geographical location and economic value have attracted the attention of many wealthy people, and the Olympic Village has now become a high-end community.

Although the Olympic Village does not have the advantages of tourism like the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest, it has a good geographical advantage. After the end of the Olympic Games, many sponsors invested and sold the houses in the Olympic Village as real estate, and the current Olympic Village has become a high-end community.

In 1932, the Los Angeles Olympics first had the concept of an "Olympic Village", where the vast majority of athletes stayed during the Games. Of course, there are also many big-name athletes who refuse the Olympic Village, they need private space and a quiet life. A few days ago, Djokovic and Murray, who are participating in the Madrid Masters, announced that they would not live in the Rio Olympic Village, and the United States Men's Basketball Dream Team, which participated for the first time in 1992, has never lived in the Olympic Village.

For these elite athletes, there are a variety of reasons for not staying in the Olympic Village.

During this week's Madrid Masters, Novak Djokovic and Murray announced that they would not be staying in the Olympic Village during the Rio Games, and that they wanted a quiet, private environment to train and live.

I would love to have more time in the Olympic Village with other athletes, but I needed a private and quiet space to train and prepare. He said he would live elsewhere during Rio, but it would certainly not be an Olympic village.

Like Murray, Murray will not live in the Olympic Village, "To be honest, the best way to prepare is to have your own space, and I had a great time in the Olympic Village in Beijing, but the results were terrible [in the first round of singles]. So, I made changes at the London Olympics (not staying in the Olympic Village) and it was these changes that made me get a good result (gold medal in singles). Murray said that during the Rio Olympics, the British tennis team would rent apartments outside the village.

Prior to this, Federer had confirmed that he would not be able to live in the Olympic Village. As a result, only Rafael Nadal of the Big Four will live in the Olympic Village, and he has been confirmed by the King of Spain as the Spanish flag bearer for the Rio Olympics.

For many athletes, it is a great honor to be able to live in the Olympic Village and participate in the Olympic Games, but there are also many who refuse to "enter the village". For highly professional sports such as basketball and tennis, top players are worth hundreds of millions, and they want plenty of private space and do not want to be neighbors in the Olympic Village with players from other sports. At the London Olympics, Federer, Murray, Sharapova, Li Na and others did not live in the Olympic Village.

To a certain extent, the rejection of the Olympic Village is more of a prerogative for these elite athletes. In this regard, the U.S. men's basketball dream team has done a more thorough job. The Dream Team has never lived in an Olympic Village since it first fielded NBA players to the Olympics in 1992.

For the 2004 Athens Olympics, they even chartered a luxury cruise ship. For the Beijing Olympics, the dream team chose to stay in a hotel on Financial Street.
