For some Olympic athletes, the accommodations left a lot to be desired.
Australian swimming champion Ariarne Titmus wasn’t a huge fan of some aspects of Paris’ Olympic.
The gold medalist pinpointed hygiene as a particular area of concern.
"The village isn’t as glamorous as people think. Our bedsheets got changed after the first night we were there and then they didn’t get changed for the rest of the time we were there, so we were living in filth."
The short supply of toilet paper designated for athletes at the Olympic village also meant the athletes were forced to go to creative lengths to obtain more.
“We would have to lie about how many roommates we had so we could scab toilet rolls. We’d run out of toilet roll and then they’d only give us one for four days.”
