The Olympics in Beijing are over, of course. How long can they continue to stay in the Olympic Village? Many of them left before the closing ceremony, of course, but I’m curous about those that might have to stay behind for a few days because … oh, for whatever reason, like waiting a few days for a flight back to their home country or something similar.
