    SOUNDBITE: (English) Greg Rutherford, England long jumper:

    (on his tweet complaining about noise levels in the athletes' village)

    "Absolutely, yeah. I think the problem you often have when a lot of people are put into a small environment, it's about learning boundaries again, and basically we haven't been here that long and I think people are figuring that out. Sadly, when you are a professional athlete you hope for a level of sleep, especially, which is very important, to be standardised, and that people don't overstep the boundaries, Sadly, this morning and a bit last night, there was some noise that travels through walls which aren't particularly thick to say the least, so I think it's all been assessed, people are going to talk and we're going to have a team meeting later, and I think that's going to come out there and people are hopefully going to quieten down a little bit."
