Olympic Park still unfinished as athletes arrive About 30 teams, comprising about 1,000 athletes, are expected to take up residence in the athletes" village, next to the Olympic Park, tomorrow with 5,000 expected by the end of the week. More than 40 team bosses met on Friday at the athletes" village and some were clearly taken by surprise by the admission that certain areas of the park would remain off limits. The Olympic Park, which hosts athletics, swimming, hockey, cycling and other sports, is still officially a construction site. Some contractors, who had passes valid up until Friday, are having to redo biometric tests to be able to gain access. Venues, however, are finished, and athletes" training programmes should not be disrupted. Sources said the problems had been caused by the wet weather and security issues, but Locog, the London organising committee, said that work in the park was on schedule.
