Inside a shop at the Two Oceans Aquarium
(where the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet)

A scene at the Team Leaders' room, past 2am. The
team leaders are concentrating on translating the
task statements into their local languages, racing
against the clock...
|
|
|
|
...while this guy, Aaron, free from the translating
task, takes a break outside (it is already about
7 or 8 o'clock in the morning). The background shows
flags of the participating nations.

This is again NOT a posed picture. Driving home the
message that winning a medal is no sheer luck, but
the result of a lot of hard work and sleepless nights.
