B2022 Athlete’s Village
Sacha has toured one of the villages for athletes as part of a Media tour.
1. The athletes village is almost ready at @unibirmingham as athletes start arriving tomorrow. Staff are already on site prepping rooms and putting up flags to make it feel like a “home away from home” for the athletes@birminghamcg22 #Birmingham2022 #AthletesVillage pic.twitter.com/OGlDFfJpA4

3. This might look insignificant but inside lies a “Poly clinic” which includes an MRI scan and other facilities for the all round health of athletes. (Unfortunately we couldn’t go inside but it’s impressive they have an MRI on site). pic.twitter.com/nUMYFDFxmk

4. There’s also a gym, the best part being what was being played on the screen… that tingle-inducing, history-making gold medal netball match as @EnglandNetball are now days away from defending their title as Commonwealth Champions #netball #inspiring pic.twitter.com/tevZYdIGhN
