No AirCon For You Olympic Athletes!

So to reduce the carbon footprint, apparently there is no a/c in the Olympic village in Paris so athletes are bringing their own units to stay cool. Coming to a state near you…

Finnish team brings own AC units to cool down in sweltering Olympic village

The Finnish Olympic team brought their own air conditioning units to the Olympic village after organisers said they would not do so in order to hit emissions targets.

They should think about these things before they award the Olympics to countries like France.

Definitely their own deodorant.

I think I'd have thrown a couple jars of Vicks in the bag to rub into my mustache before engaging the public.

They can say "to reduce carbon footprint" but most likely was to save a buck or two. These things are throw away and will be bulldozed afterwards.

actually they're claiming the Village will be turned into apartments and commercial/office areas post-Olympics. Which honestly boggles my mind even more. I know HVAC in the old historic buildings is touchy in Europe, but brand new? Who's going to want an apartment or office space in Paris made of cardboard and no AC?

They could house all those American celebrities who say they're leaving the country if Trump is re-elected.

Not many Olympic athletes have thigh folds and under boob other than the power lifters.

She could use a lot of lume'.

Her opponent probably wishes she had it in her butt crack.

Organisers have also relented and abandoned their policy of renting out air conditioning, after it became clear that the position was unfair on smaller nations.

Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan, America and China had all installed air conditioning before the Games began, with AOC chief executive Matt Carroll saying: 'We appreciate the concept of not having air conditioning due to the carbon footprint' but added 'this is a high-performance Games. We're not going for a picnic.'

And Paris 2024 spokeswoman Anne Deschamps said they are now allowing all teams to bring in their own air conditioning.

'We have found a balance for the athlete's village long term responsibililty for a model neighbourhood with all of the (green) innovations and our short term responsibility to give to high performance athletes the best conditions,' she said.

Olympic Games ditch woke approach after huge outcry

Olympic Games organisers have wilted to pressure from athletes and ordered more than 700kg of eggs and a tonne of extra meat to replace fake meat meals and non-dairy options.
