The Olympic Village, which is designed to host the world's best athletes, is facing criticism after Olympic gold medalist Tomas Cecon was found sleeping next to a bench in the park, raising concerns about the living conditions on offer. Olympians.
The Italian swimmer, who won two medals this week, expressed his displeasure with the accommodations. Despite his success, he described the conditions in the village as "substandard", resulting in his choosing to sleep in the open rather than the facilities available. One photo captured him curled up in a white towel under a tree next to a bench, a stark contrast to the expectations of Olympic housing.
Saudi rower Hussein Alireza spotted Cheko sleeping and shared the image on Instagram, pointing to the Olympic Village grounds as the location.
Cecon expressed his displeasure at the poor conditions after losing the 200m final on 31 July. He told reporters: "There is no air conditioning in the village, it is hot, the food is bad. Many athletes move for this reason: it's not an alibi or an excuse, it's the reality that maybe not everyone knows.'
He added: "I'm disappointed I didn't make the final, but I was very tired. It is difficult to sleep both at night and in the afternoon. Usually, when I'm at home, I always sleep in the afternoon: here I have a lot of difficulty between the heat and the noise.'
The Italian Swimming Federation (FIN) clarified that the sighting of Ceccon sleeping was unrelated to his previous comments about the Olympic Village, but the incident highlights the wider issue of poor living conditions faced by athletes.
