Just 3 days before the Olympic Games begin in the city of Rio, many players have expressed their displeasure with the accommodations in the Olympic Village.
Andrew Bogut faced an… original issue before showering in his room. The player tweeted a picture of him putting together a shower curtain so that the water won’t flood the room(!).

Bogut’s comments come just days after Australia refused to check in at the Olympic Village when it officially opened on Sunday, complaining about water and gas leaks, electrical faults and filth that delegation head Kitty Chiller said put athletes in danger.
The athletes subsequently moved in only for approximately 100 team members to be evacuated from their accommodation on Friday after a fire started in the underground parking lot. The athletes spent 30 minutes out of the building, with none hurt in the incident. However, upon returning to their rooms they found out that some shirts and two laptops had been stolen during the evacuation.
