They're there to compete, not have a luxury holiday. Building an athlete's village for a 2 week games is a crazy waste of money.

This is creative - less waste. Athletes can move stay in hotel if they are not happy

The accommodation environment provided to athletes is really too rudimentary. Athletes cannot receive effective information and cannot achieve good results in a state of physical exhaustion
