U.S. Women's Olympic Team Enjoying Village Life in Athens

Aug. 4, 2004

ATHENS, Greece (Aug. 4, 2004) - The U.S. Olympic Women's Soccer Team rose early on Wednesday morning for a nice 7:30 a.m. breakfast at the Athletes' Village Dining Hall, perhaps the biggest cafeteria ever built by modern man, and then moved on to more important matters - like getting free haircuts. The players are enjoying their time so far as many players took the warm evening to explore the massive Athlete's Village, shop for official Olympic Gear at the store, get haircuts (they're free!) or hop on the Internet at the many available computers before they depart for Crete the next day. The USA will train on Thursday evening in Heraklio on the island of Crete, where the USA opens its Olympic competition on Aug. against host Greece at Pankrito Stadium (6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET on MSNBC).
