Being an Olympic athlete is one of the highest honors bestowed upon an athlete by his/her country. They usually are number one in their sport in their country. Most of the athletes participating in the Olympics also participate in other competitions, like Rafael Nadal, who also plays in all the major tennis tournaments around the world.
In Beijing, the athletes live in their own Olympic village. Their family members can't stay there and most family members either live in rented apartments or with friends in the city. The Olympic Village is on the Olympic shuttle bus route to the tennis venue and it was fun to see how they had decorated their sections with their country's flags on the balconies.
With world-class athletes comes world-class catering, also known as McDonalds (well, for this Olympics). There are five McDonald's total in the Olympic Green, two for spectators, two for athletes and one for the press. See how crowded it was at this McDonald outlet.
