Former Australian swimmer James Magnussen has hit out at Paris organisers over the poor living conditions in the Olympic Village, claiming the games have received a record number of complaints from athletes.
The Paris 2024 Olympic Village has faced a record number of complaints over uncomfortable beds and vegan meals and could cost athletes the chance at glory, according to former gold medallist James Magnussen .

“People have trained so hard for four years. They turn up here and they’re sleeping on cardboard beds? It’s just ridiculous.” “Well, an Australian heavyweight boxer has come out. He wanted lamb chops — maximum two chops per person. The guy is 6'6", 110 at best.”Matty and The Missile, James Magnussen, have criticised the Olympic Village in their coverage of the Paris Games.
