The Chinese have done a lot to accommodate all tastes and have improved after they first made the tests.

Usually the facilities are tested for security and fine tuning as in all major sports events.

Not a big deal. I just was using this to illustrate the case of Chinese management style. We are watching every step they are taking. We take China extremely serious.

Jardel said that after the tests his bed is long enough and the shower high and he praised the organization for that. He's the triple-jumper.

In the case of footballers, the coach is the same for the professional team and might have expected the same arrangements as usual and faced a management chain.
