Where did you get this, if I may ask? :p 

 

I might use it on a Dutch website to update an article about the Australians moving out of the Village because of unliveable conditions :) 

 

found it. here a article.

 

shortly:

everything is fine we have 25 rooms for our team and all are ok. there any problem and we are very happy with our location because we are only 30 metres of the Dining room and 100-150 metres of the transport junction from where the athletes will travel to the different venues.

The news about Czechs living with us is unofficial, but apparently correct.

Problems according to the head of the Dutch team as well: "There are tons of problems we could not have expected....everything is leaking, water and gas mains are broken, electricity cabels are still out in the open and the toilets simply don't flush (like when something is stuck in it)."

 

Dutch technical personell is apparently helping to fix a huge amount of problems. "We have hope that the things can be fixed in time, but it's going to be a huge challenge."

That room looks perfectly fine too me. Some media will write anything to make hosts looks bad.:facepalm:

 

Agreed.  There are some major problems with Rio and those deserve more attention (in hopes of improvement in the future, i.e. polluted water).

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
