The 2024 Paris Olympics are facing significant criticism regarding the living conditions in the Olympic Village, with athletes highlighting issues such as food shortages, uncomfortable cardboard beds, lack of air conditioning, and cramped quarters. Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus criticized the environment for hampering performance, noting the difficulty of living conditions, while Team USA's Coco Gauff shared her team's struggles, mentioning inadequate bathroom facilities. Many athletes have opted to leave the Village for hotels, citing the inadequate vegan-friendly food options and discomfort. The British delegation has even resorted to bringing their own chef due to dissatisfaction with the meals provided. Organizers are reportedly responding by increasing staff and transportation options in an attempt to alleviate the complaints. As the games continue until August 11, the overall atmosphere within the Village remains a topic of concern for many athletes.
