Olympic-sized whinge: stars shade athlete village

Tennis superstar Coco Gauff told her TikTok followers that some of her teammates had even left to seek other accommodation.

Gauff provided a seven-second tour of the American women's tennis players' room.

The video featured the Olympians doing their hair and makeup and getting dressed across a few rooms.

"10 girls, two bathrooms. #olympicvillage," the 20-year-old wrote looking alarmed.

Another major gripe involves the beds with rumours abounding that organisers deliberately made them out of cardboard to be "anti-sex".

Australian water polo player Matilda Kearns told her Instagram followers she "already had a massage to undo the damage" after the first night.

"It's actually rock solid," she said.

Her roommate complained "her back was about to fall off".

The Paris games have been billed as the most sustainable ever with a target set to emit no more than 1.58 million tonnes of carbon dioxide or around half the footprint of London 2012 or Rio 2016.

Sixty per cent of the food in the village had to be vegan-friendly, according to reports.

British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Anson told the Times newspaper that the food was simple and "not adequate".

"There are not enough of certain foods: eggs, chicken, certain carbohydrates. And then there is the quality of the food, with raw meat being served to athletes," he said.

Australian Gold medalist Ariarne Titmus said in an interview after her 400m race that the quality of the Olympic village was impacting performances.

"But living in the [athlete's] village ... makes it hard to perform, it's definitely not made for high performance," she told Channel 7.

"It's about who can keep it together in the mind at an Olympics and come out on top."
