Nicely settled…

Staff and athletes are now settled into the village. After a bit of a push around to get used to their new surroundings and a night’s sleep it was up at 6am to prepare for a visit by the anti-doping testing team – not quite in line with our jet-lag recovery strategy but all part of the Games. In addition, staff and athletes have started the daily saliva testing and health reporting which are all part of the safety measures. After this a relatively chilled morning with physio sessions and rest ahead of a light training session focused on skills to shake off the flight. Team Manager Lee Stutely has been to the venue and reports back that it is looking great. I hope you are all following us on social media where we are pushing out some great content thanks to our new partnership with TLA.
