Number 05: The Mozzies!!
There was a lot of talk in and around the Athletes Village about the dangers of the Dengue Fever carrying mosquito. There were a lot of precautions taken around avoiding the mozzie bite from dousing ourselves in Rid 10 times a day, keeping all doors and windows firmly shut, keeping fans on all day and night to keep them away, wearing long sleeves and pants (didn’t happen!!) and fumigating our rooms daily. In fac, the dousing I gave the bedroom I shared with Natalie Van Bertouch gave us both a laughing and coughing fit which made me think we’d never make the gold medal match
