Paris 2024: Why Are Athletes Leaving Olympics Village For Hotels? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

10 billion dollars spend, no proper bed, no proper food, no proper infrastructure (dirty Seine river) where is the money gone?

Athletes finding out that France is basically a third world country in western Europe is hilarious

This Olympics is going down as the worst opening ceremony in history. Now the athletes leaving for better accommodations is adding to the disaster. Shame on France and the IOC.

Cardboard beds, no air conditioning, lack of decent food. The US, Brits and Aussies have bought their own air conditioning.The British team have even brought in their own chef to cook proper food that their high performance athletes need. Well done France, unless you can turn this around, you are on track to produce the worst olympics ever. Bringing a sense of shame that will be very hard to live down😂😂

France is writing a history that may never get erased.

How ironic sex free beds in a country where all types sexual promiscuity is a way of life. Was demonstrated in the opening ceremony.

I remember volunteering during the 1984 L.A. Games. They set up Olympic villages on the campuses of USC and UCLA. As a volunteer, we got free meals at the villages which provided menus of food from just about every country in the world that participated. They even had volunteer restaurant owners and cooks come in and cook national dishes for teams of athletes. I drove an archery team from the country Bhutan to their competition. Afterwards, they invited me to eat with them at the USC Olympic cafeteria. The local small L.A. Bhutanese community was cooking them their dishes a few days for the two weeks while they were there and they welcomed familar tastes and food so far from home. One of the best meals and best experiences i had as a volunteer at the L.A. Games. Paris should do better with the beds and food especially. Athletes leaving the villages for hotels is a sad experience and does not reflect well on the host city.

These athletes trained and waited for 4 years plus to sleep in a cardboard box, stay in an oven-like rooms and eat lousy food. They were so preoccupied with "anti-sex" bed that they opened the ceremony with an "anti-Christ" scene. Oh-la-la, as they say - leave it to the French.

Worst Olympics ever! 😂

Having no sleep, hardly any food, and a sauna for a room should be considered interference with the games. Why is Paris getting so many passes? I don’t think there is anyone being held accountable for the standards of the Olympic Games at this point. This really seems like they let AI make all the decisions.

The most elite athletes have cardboard beds, no food, and no air conditioning. The organizers of these games feel like Satanists. This is torture. I haven't watched a single second, and I will never ever watch the Olympics again. This games has had so many digusting things happen..

Why to host Olympics when you cannot afford to host it properly?? What an embarrassment!!

Imagine training you whole life for this one moment and the night before you get to sleep on cardboard and don't get enough nutrition

What this tells me is that the people who designed Olympic Village have never played a sport a day in their lives. To compete effectively you need quality sleep. You need peace and quiet and a fair amount of solitude. And nutrition. More and more we have a small, clueless faction of society deciding things for the rest of us. When are we going to say enough is enough? This has gone too far?

The IOC allows biolgical men to box women, so why not break more rules?

Absolute shame on Paris, France for not stepping up to provide the very BEST for these hard working athletes. Cardboard bed frames, are you kidding???

Staying in the Olympic Village sounds like another challenge that these athletes need to win.

Boycott France, make sure France not able to host Olympic anymore

This will go down as the worst Olympics to ever exist. The committee is having trouble hiding it all under the rug we all know how much of a failure this really is. I wanna see how the French athletes are living lol

Trying to be environmentally conscious is great, as long as it is done properly and not diminishing the well being, health and comfort of athletes who have been training and preparing so hard during years up the occasion. But from the badly realized and ridiculously polemic opening to the conduct of these games, France is proving unable to live up to the minimum expectations of the organization.
