The village itself sits in the suburb of Saint-Denis, known in the sports world as the home to the Stade de France where France’s national soccer and rugby teams play. It is located in a formerly run-down area now transformed into a vibrant international hub for the July 26-Aug. 11 Paris Games, and for the Aug. 28-Sept. 8 Paralympics.
PARIS — Australian beach volleyball player Taliqua Clancy got an unexpected surprise walking around the athletes' village at the Paris Olympics on Monday.
“I’m a proud aboriginal and it is special to have the artwork and design" in the village, the 32-year-old Clancy said. “It’s great to see a whole ton of different countries here,” United States rugby sevens center Lucas Lacamp said Monday. “The most noticeable thing is people are not wearing masks,” Knewstubb said, adding that he likes how athletes can now say hello to each other or come up and swap pins “without the hesitation of Covid.”
Meanwhile, the American men's rugby sevens team are preparing for a huge game on Wednesday against host France — which boasts arguably the best player in the world in scrumhalf Antoine Dupont.
