5 Things that could disrupt Rio Olympics 2016

Unliveable Athlete’s village

The neighborhood of Rio was chosen to be the home of Olympians. However, the accommodation has become a major headache due to the kind of living conditions that has been provided to the athletes. The opening ceremony is just a week away and still a list of problems including the electricity and plumbing exist.

The Australians were the first to raise this issue and called the accommodation at Athlete’s village uninhabitable. Australia Olympic Committee chef de mission Kitty Chiller released a statement saying “Problems include blocked toilets, leaking pipes, exposed wiring, darkened stairwells where no lighting has been installed and dirty floors in need of a massive clean.”

Soon after, Australians were followed by other teams such as Egypt, Belarus, Sweden etc. in raising complaints against the lodging.
