As Korean athletes continue to arrive in Rio for the Olympic Games, their training has gained intensity as well. Their preparations for the opening day are going smoothly, thanks to the consideration of the supporting staff.

The Korean national archery team is upping its training intensity. All the athletes in the Korean fencing squad have also gathered in Rio for their first training session. Champion swimmer Park Tae-hwan, who has completed training in the U.S., looks forward to redeeming his honor more than winning a medal. As training grows more strenuous, support for the athletes is being provided in all areas. For Korean archers whose lodging is located far from their venue, a recreational vehicle was brought near the stadium so that the archers can rest in comfort.

[Soundbite] Jang Hye-jin(Korean National Archery Team) : "They've thought a lot about even the most trivial areas. I was very impressed."

The Team Korea House situated near the Athlete's Village delivers boxed meals to different venues, so that Olympic participants can enjoy Korean meals during training and get into top game shape. The team's strategic thinking extends to athletes' breaks and meals both inside and outside the venues.
