STUDIO TOURS: PIA GUERRA
Water cooler is there for cold water on hot days and hot tea on cold nights. You can see the honey and tea bags further along the wall there.

Winners will be announced in St Petersburg on February 18. Last year, wheelchair marathon champion Kurt Fearnley was Australia's sole nominee.
