The sweltering heat during the Paris Olympics has pushed athletes to install their own air conditioning units, as the eco-friendly Olympic village has opted to go without them.
Italian swimmer Thomas Ceccon, a gold medalist, has taken to sleeping outdoors to escape the heat. Ceccon has voiced his dissatisfaction with the Olympic facilities, telling the Sun, “There is no air conditioning in the village, it’s hot, the food is bad.”
Saudi rower Husein Alireza shared a photo on social media of Ceccon napping beneath a tree on a white towel, next to a bench. Alireza tagged the location as the Olympic village, captioning the photo: “Rest today, conquer tomorrow.” The exact timing of the photo is unclear.
