athletes’ entertainment available at every venue to make sure athletes enjoy
themselves, while waiting for their turn to compete.
Athlete’s locker rooms:
Locker rooms will be available in all competition venues but whether the athletes
need to change or arrive dressed ready for the competition falls under the
rules/culture of each sport. Athletes’ equipment can be stored in the locker rooms;
however, there will also be storage rooms offered for sports that require such service
(e.g. bowling).
Warm up Areas:
Controlled warm up areas will be available where necessary. Appropriate practice
times will be scheduled depending on the sport (detailed schedule will be announced
during competition days).
Medical Services:
There will be medical personnel and medical stations at each competition venue to
assist with the needs of the Delegations and spectators. However, the responsibility
for the athletes’ wellbeing lies with their Coaches.
Concessions:
In every competition venue there will be concession/s selling food and beverages for
spectators, families and athletes.
Seating:
Seating dedicated to Delegations will be available at each competition venue.
Transportation:
In order to ensure that athletes, coaches and officials arrive at competition venues on
time, there will be transportation (bus services) connecting the accommodation sites
with the competition venues. It’s very important for all delegations to be at the
designated pick up point at the announced departure time.
