No AC, tiny rooms, polluted water. That's real paris!

[martinalbert]

The no air conditioning situation is a big hassle since it’s summer.

[braxtonp.]

The way the speaker talks makes me aggressive

[Earth]

The absence of air conditioning has nothing to do with environmental concerns. Air conditioning in summer is a primary need for these busy athletes. It's a pathetic cost cutting measure

[CurlyBoyChuck]

No air conditioning, cardboard beds? Hell naw, I’d be booking into a hotel if i were an athlete.

[banshee]

The french team apartment location has very convenient access to dining hall

When I went to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, the Olympic Village was converted into the Ray Brooks Regional Correctional Facility (Jail). We had stainless steel beds, a Stainless steal sink and a Stainless Steal toilet in each room. After the games they removed all the doors and replaced them with the Prison Bars. All the windows though had bars. It was how a tiny Village in New York could afford to host the games.

AC is the least of the worries. Village running out of food and some reports of undercooked food?

[kevink]

What happens in the Olympic Village stays in the Olympic Village.

[brenden]

We should just have it in Greece everytime.

[chriserasmus]

I am a volunteer at the village is so cool 😊

[ABG_]

People from very hot countries: Can we have extra blankets? 😂

[daygraysea]

You know the little boy that says “apparently” when he’s being interviewed? The way the narrator talks is the adult version of that.

[ssqubez]

I would never go to Paris. And I live in France.

[DORAEMON-bwjk]

They brought their own portable AC units. So it works.

[DonaldDucksRevenge]

If National Rally showcases uniquely French sports and artistry I would be more interested

[val-schaeffer]

When are they coming in the rental market?

[tcos]

Those beds look more uncomfortable than my military bunk.

[PamelaTyler]

They had cardboard beds at the Tokyo games as well. I honestly wouldn’t mind getting a fresh bed to be honest. 😊

I'm curious about the French security. Is it like caledonia
