Thankfully, most problems are being solved quickly - the australian chef de mission changed the tone today and said everything should be ready by tomorrow in their building (the one that have faced most problems). I expect the same for other rooms that have presented problems.

 

And of course our national press are already taking advantage of this situations for some "loved" sensationalist news:

How come is everyone facing this issues in the Olympic Village? Is this common every olympics?

 

I mean, after so many years to prepare the accommodations, how can it be that the apartments aren't ready?? :thumbdown:

well, I don't know what is reason in this case (I don't think it is "bad" conditions), but for tennis players this is not strange at all. For London our tennis players lived in house close to tennis courts.

I wonder who our team's neighbours are then... if slovaks are with czechs, maybe our "dear brothers" spanish are in our building? :p

 

Nope, that will be... France (I applaud the trolling atempt by our brazilians hosts)

 

Spoiler

At, least, our athletes shouldn't be too bothered with victory ceremonies from our new roomates :p

    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.  
    • Very quick end &  get 2 back to 6=3, but  have the hammer in ninth....
