Todd said he was enjoying his stay in Beijing and the Village. "I don't actually live in the village, but I come here very often, and the athletes tell me they are very comfortable here, it's very spacious, and there's plenty of room to relax."Asked about whether he felt lost in such a big place, Todd laughed: "You can't get lost here. There are so many volunteers around, they know everything you need to know, so if you have any questions, you just have to open your mouth and ask.”
