Olympic village

Games housing complex

An Olympic village is the residential complex built to house athletes, coaches, and officials during the Olympic Games.

These purpose-built facilities provide dormitories, dining halls, medical services, and recreational areas, creating a self-contained community for competitors from all participating nations.

After the games conclude, Olympic villages are typically converted into residential housing or other urban developments.

The athletes spent their downtime relaxing in the Olympic village between events.
