Hii ni response ya Federer mwanzoni alipokuwa akihojiwa kwanini hakai kwenye kijiji cha olympic kama wanamichezo wengine.......Shocking!
"It's not possible for me to stay there," he said. "There are so many athletes who want their pictures taken with me.
"I don't mind it, but every day? I can't escape it. It's not the ideal preparation for winning Olympic gold."
On the other hand mpinzani mkubwa wa Federer- Nadal, ambaye yupo kijijini hapo pamoja na timu nzima ya olympics ya Spain alisema......Very humble!
"It's unforgettable to be in there with all the elite athletes that we only otherwise see on television," he says. "To be with them there is a really marvellous feeling."

African multiple champion Jason Dunford is jubilant after winning the seventh heat of 100m butterfly in an Olympic record time of 51.14 2 at the National Acquatic Centre in Beijing Thursday to qualify for the semi finals. His younger brother David , however failed to qualify despited winning his heat in the 50m freestyle in 22.29 21.
For seven memorable minutes, the world stood up and watched as brilliant Kenyan swimmer Jason Dunford held the Olympic 100 metres butterfly record that he shattered on the way to making it to Fridays semi-finals of his speciality at Beijings National Acquatic Centre.
Stunned swimming analysts froze in awe inside the 18,000-seater Water Cube, one of Beijings architectural masterpieces, as the 21-year-old student of human physiology at Stanford University swam 51.14 seconds to break American Michael Phelps old mark of 51.25 that he set at the Athens Games four years ago.
Jason was swimming in Heat Seven which he won by 0.23 seconds ahead of second-placed Australian Andrew Lauterstein. His parents Martin and Geraldine and brothers David and Robert watched.
David had earlier just failed to make it to the semi-finals of the 50m freestyle despite winning Heat Nine in a new national record of 22.29 seconds, an improvement on his brother Jasons previous mark of 22.73 seconds.
But swimming in Heat Nine, seven minutes after Jasons record, Serbian Milorad Cavic, under pressure from American torpedo Michael Phelps improved on the Kenyan sensations time, clocking a new Olympic record 50.76 seconds which is just 0.26 seconds outside American Ian Crockers world record of 50.40 set in Montreal in 2005.

Michael Phelps steals victory to claim Gold number 7.
BEIJING (AP)-Michael Phelps swam into history with a magnificent finish Saturday, tying Mark Spitz with his seventh gold medal by the narrowest of margins in the 100-meter butterfly.
His arms soaring across the water one last time, Phelps got his hand on the wall a hundredth of a second ahead of Serbia's Milorad Cavic. Phelps' time was 50.58 seconds, the only time in these Olympics that Phelps won an event without breaking the world record.
The 23-year-old from Baltimore has now pulled even with the greatest of Olympic records, matching Spitz's performance in the 1972 Munich Games.
Call this one the Great Haul of China-and it's not done yet.
