Preparations at the Olympic Village for the upcoming Paris Games are in full swing, as the village is set to open its doors for the arrival of participating athletes in mid-July.

00:30For all delegations, the system that we have put in place is enough and sufficient to respond
00:54the athletes' needs in case of high temperature here in the village.
01:24If some extra needs are for some athletes, I'm thinking about the Paralympics also with
01:35some athletes that have some thermal regulation problems, that needs to have a really clear
01:41refreshment in their apartments.
01:44We understand that it will be needed for these athletes also.
02:24And our responsibility was to provide something that makes sure that there is a refreshment
02:53that is proposed in each apartment.
02:55So that's why we have implemented with all the promoters and Solideo, the supervisor of the
03:01village, some on-the-floor cooling system that can reduce the temperature inside the apartments
03:07and make a difference with the external temperature.
03:11This is the system that we wanted to provide.
03:13And in addition to this, fans will be installed in there.
03:18So our commitment of proposing some refreshment for the athletes is solved thanks to this
03:24system that is in place.
03:48Thank you.
