The no air conditioning situation is a big hassle since it’s summer.

[@braxtonp.3991]

The way the speaker talks makes me aggressive

[@borrowtopfan]

😂 me too

[@Dr.Stasis]

Glad I'm not alone here... lol

[@DonaldDucksRevenge]

If National Rally showcases uniquely French sports and artistry I would be more interested

[@banshee1133]

The french team apartment location has very convenient access to dining hall

[@PamelaTyler]

They had cardboard beds at the Tokyo games as well. I honestly wouldn’t mind getting a fresh bed to be honest. 😊

[@kevink3688]

What happens in the Olympic Village stays in the Olympic Village.

[@dcookieify]

I'm curious about the French security. Is it like caledonia

[@susanschumm8508]

Cardboard beds? Interesting.

[@daygraysea]

You know the little boy that says “apparently” when he’s being interviewed? The way the narrator talks is the adult version of that.

[@val-schaeffer1117]

When are they coming in the rental market?

[@katies2067]

Prob a few months after

[@brenden084]

We should just have it in Greece everytime.

[@calvinang1]

Fully agree with your opinion

[@Hellsing7747]

That would be great.

[@user-km4lo8zz6z]

Nope 👎🏾

[@Shaolin91z]

No we shouldn't. I like that it moves.

[@mezamaldini]

why?

[@CalmLavenderFields-ib6sg]

Pickpocket is every were in Olympics

[@Johnyboyknowsbetter]

And what would be there after the Olympics? A place for those who needs a place? If so, how much the rent will cost??

[@siare123]

How is the commentator employed? What is with her deliberately emphasized words?

[@Earth098]

The absence of air conditioning has nothing to do with environmental concerns. Air conditioning in summer is a primary need for these busy athletes. It's a pathetic cost cutting measure

[@iolite2]

French people have very notoriously opposed A/C for years.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

It’s a burden to host the Olympics. Have to build an Olympic village, house about 7000 athletes, build Olympic size pool and stadium, etc. It bankrupts the hosting city/ country, not to mention the tourists who trash the city.

[@meowenstein]

Hope GIGN has been training hard…

[@joeson7700]

Paris Olympic village Stay SAFE , never ever like MUNICH !

[@M_butterfly788.-tf8bd]

Cardboard beds

[@liliakilmer9773]

Imagine enough athletes bringing their own AC units, how it's going to overtax the electrical grid... Gonna be interesting 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mintymilkk]

Sounds like an AI voiceover...

[@tenorly]

Very nice - but good luck doing well if you're an Olympic athlete after sleeping on those cardboard beds (!), and with no air conditioning.

[@fromthefountofyouth]

The really elite athletes, the top 1% in their respective sports surely won't be staying there.

[@buffybeast]

The American athletes will have AC.

[@AnonTriple]

Athletes can swim up to 15 hours a day, run for hours and hours and rest anywhere, I don't think no air conditioning or a cardboard bed will bother them, they're not mental health patients who have tranny thoughts. We've lived without air conditioning for tens of thousands of years. In fact people have only started to use air conditioning since the 1950s.

[@walterpessoa1622]

good luck sending a letter by laposte

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

I remember that the Tokyo games mentioned that the flemsy beds were to prevent sex😂😂😂

[@herbwitch5681]

Well, that’s ugly

[@Shaolin91z]

Stop looking in the mirror

[@YOLOMarkus]

no AC, what a joke. These Europeans are out of control

[@ben44700]

america pollution

[@egel7736]

"These Europeans (...)". Girl, we're talking about the French here. Europe isn't a nation. Open an atlas, look at a map.

[@veraciteabsolue1221]

Unless you have very large bay Windows, you don't need A/C in Paris. It is same latitude as Newfoundland, except that winters are warmer and summers colder due to domineering west wind carrying air and its clouds from the Atlantic ocean. Are you American? You don't enjoy a solid reputation for knowing geography. Including political leaders who however claim to rule the world. By the way, did you find the massive destruction weapons in Irak?

[@abdouramimaz2921]

IN ALL MY HEART, I WISH THE PARIS OLYMPIC NOT SUCCESS

[@user-ob5rg6ne6l]

Thanks France 🇫🇷 for putting life back 🔙 into the games. 🏟📧📱🥤🍔🍟
