What's China Like Compared To Back Home? "It's pretty good with all the big buildings and a big dining hall [in the Athletes Village]. Nothing like that in the Cook Islands. We're used to beaches and not big buildings. It's my first time in this kind of atmosphere." Joshua Ioane (COK) |
| Romen Richard | |
| George Papadopoulous | |
| Jonatan Vadnai | |
