It's been pretty warm in Brazil, so recovery has been welcome for the players.

 

Icing the pills with a few bad eggs!❄️🇦🇺🇧🇷

There are plenty of great spots to recover  as well, with the women completing a session in the jungle.

They haven't been all alone, though, with the men trying out some soccer skills with the the Swedish women's team..

 

Bit of fun with the @swewnt this morning. #sharktank

The Aussie men have been trying a few different sports as well, to show solidarity with their counterparts in other sports.

 

With 7 days till the opening ceremony the @aussie7s boys are showing their support for fellow Australian athletes. To kick things off I'm throwing my weight behind @simplice and @tiaclair1 good luck and hopefully you lift more than this! #7from7s @ausolympicteam
