Olympic hustle and bustle happens during the competition. The athletes are more relaxed in the Olympic village.
Big teams like Russian or Chinese teams feel at home and use all opportunities to go to the pool, train or listen to the music in the evening.
MediamaxSport visited Armenian team and got acquainted to their conditions. We went there early in the morning: some of the athletes were sleeping and others were already training.
Everyone was still upset about Andranik Karapetyan’s injury. They were trying not to let it interfere with their performance.
The wrestlers are slowly gathering and they have already managed to train.
During our 2vist to the village we get the opportunity to see Andranik at last. He has just arrived from the hospital and is trying to hide how he really feels.
We are just talking, trying not to concentrate on the unfortunate injury the day before, but without even knowing, the injury is the only thing we were discussing. He is a strong person and a great athlete: we are sure he will be able to get through this.
The Olympic team meets us, as they would meet their relatives. We feel like we are in small Armenia and everyone is very nice to us.
