Paralympics: Athletes arrive in villages
Paralympics: Athletes arrive in villages
(France 2)
Athletes continue to settle in the Paralympic Village. Of these, 4,400 will remain in Seine-Saint-Denis.
The Olympic Village is coming back to life and don’t worry, Paralympians won’t be bored. Supermarkets, massage parlors, bakeries: athletes no longer isolate themselves in their rooms and use every moment to feel at home. With four days left until the competition, almost all the athletes have arrived and are settling in. The wheelchair basketball players have been sleeping in an apartment that suits them for two days. In the village, everything is thought out in advance to facilitate people with limited mobility.
Therefore, no major projects will be carried out after the Olympics, but some adjustments will be made in areas such as the canteen. The number of seats is 300, compared with 450 during the Olympic Games. To avoid waiting at the buffet (sometimes criticized during the Olympics) attendance was better calculated. The revamped infrastructure includes workshops for chair and prosthetic limb repairs.
