During a TV interview, sailor Zhou Yuanguo has described what it's like over there.

"Most of the food here are hamburgers and pizzas. The place we stay in is a large suite with five rooms, each with two beds. Quilts are not quite enough because it's pretty cold at night here. We're trying to get more. It takes about forty minutes to take the shuttle from here to the competition site."

The sailors and other water sports athletes are among the earliest to arrive in Greece for training session two weeks in advance of competitions to get used to the weather conditions there.
