00:00Behind me is the Milan 2026 Olympic Village.
00:04As you can see, Team Italia has prominent placement.
00:07This village isn't as big as other villages we've seen at Winter Games
00:10because there's so many villages spread out across northern Italy,
00:13so it's kind of a more compact facility.
00:16Shout out to Team Canada in their residential area.
00:19They had a moose.
00:21What stands out about this Olympic Village?
00:23One of my favorite things, perhaps my favorite thing,
00:25is the zona mentale, the mind zone.
00:27This is where athletes can go and just relax and prepare mentally for the games.
00:32They can color.
00:33There are coloring pages.
00:35They can write postcards to their families,
00:37and they can go into private areas and speak to mental health professionals.
00:40There's a game room with knock hockey, foosball video games.
00:44Two French hockey players were competing hard in foosball when we were there.
00:48And, of course, there's a dining hall.
00:50So all kinds of good stuff, great pizza margaritas,
00:53great salmon steaks, swordfish steaks.
00:56But one question will be, what's going to be the breakout food item of the Olympics?
01:00Remember in Paris, there were those chocolate muffins?
01:02I didn't see chocolate muffins, but I did see something called a turtle sandwich,
01:07which just seemed like some kind of bread.
01:10Will turtle sandwich become the new muffins?
01:12I would doubt it, but you never know.
01:14You never know.
01:15You never know.
01:17You never know.
01:18You never know.
