Provision of Hot Drinks<br />
As part of its TOP IV agreement, the Coca-<br />
Cola Company provided soft drinks, mineral<br />
water, and various kinds of canned tea and coffee<br />
to the Olympic Family as VIK. Staff from<br />
the Coca-Cola Company operated drinks services<br />
at the Olympic Village and locker room<br />
areas at competition facilities for athletes and officials,<br />
at the Olympic Family lounges for <strong>IOC</strong><br />
members and VIP guests, and at the IBC, MPC,<br />
SPCs, and RTV houses for media personnel.<br />
Hot drinks were provided at each of the facilities<br />
to help battle the cold weather.<br />
Food Services for Games Staff<br />
During the period January 24 – February 25,<br />
all Games staff received boxed breakfast, lunch,<br />
dinner, and snacks. In principle, during a oneweek<br />
cycle, the menu consisted of 17 different<br />
types of boxed meals. The meal boxes were ordered<br />
in bulk from official supplier Yamazaki<br />
Baking Co., Ltd. and delivered to each facility.<br />
Games personnel stationed at certain facilities,<br />
as well as the airports and train stations, received<br />
a meal allowance. Outdoor competition officials<br />
who started work early in the morning were provided<br />
with a supplementary light repast of bread<br />
and onigiri rice balls. A total of 546,000 meals –<br />
455,000 boxed lunches and 91,000 meals at the<br />
cafeterias and restaurants – were served to<br />
Games personnel. While the quality of boxed<br />
meals was high, the one-week cycle proved<br />
somewhat repetitive for staff and volunteers stationed<br />
throughout the entire Games period.<br />
Concession Stands / Stores<br />
Some 28 official NAOC concession stands<br />
selling refreshments and 45 selling Games merchandise<br />
were set up at the competition and ceremonies<br />
facilities. Eight Games’ Sponsors<br />
offered products and services at 98 service<br />
counters, and the Post Office set up a total of 20<br />
temporary counters. General stores selling daily<br />
necessities such as electrical products, magazines,<br />
and licensed goods were opened at noncompetition<br />
facilities.<br />
All of the stands, in particular, those selling<br />
Olympic merchandise, proved to be more popular<br />
than anticipated.<br />
Games merchandise<br />
was a big hit at<br />
concession stands.<br />
A relaxed setting was<br />
established at cafeterias.<br />
