Rubtsov reports from the Olympic Village

I arrived on Saturday July 27th. I came here alone, our team will arrive on August 1st. Training at the climbing wall began on July 29 and will continue until the start of the competition. There are 2 bouldering walls: one in the warm-up area and one in the competition area. On the lead wall 4 routes have been prepared. The speed wall is 10 and 15 meters. All this is available in the evening 2 hours a day, separately guys and girls on a schedule. A fitness room is available in the village 24 hours a day. You can also just exercise outside on the grass, stretch, or whatever. Many athletes running or cycling / skateboarding around the village. I generally like the village :)

Mostly I walk around the village and ride a skateboard :) I like the atmosphere and a huge number of the best athletes from all over the world around. I'm just enjoying this. I plan another 1-2 trainings at the climbing wall and every day I go to fitness on the territory of the village.
