Ariarne Titmus, the Australian swimmer and double gold medalist, has criticized the living conditions in the Olympic Village during the Paris Games, describing them as 'filthy' and far from the glamorous image portrayed by organizers. Speaking on The Project, she revealed that bed sheets were only changed once during their stay, and athletes struggled with a severe shortage of toilet paper, having to lie about their number of roommates to obtain more. Titmus also mentioned the poor quality of mattresses, likening them to 'fishing wire' and expressed relief at returning home for a decent cup of coffee. Other athletes, including Adam Peaty, echoed her concerns about the substandard food provisions, which included reports of worms in the fish served. These revelations highlight significant issues regarding athlete welfare in Olympic accommodations.
