Athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics are expressing discontent over their accommodations, with the food being a major point of frustration. Despite France’s renowned culinary reputation, the dining experience has fallen short. Many Olympians have shared their disappointment on social media, revealing issues such as unpleasant meals and inadequate protein options.

Reports of worms in the food have particularly shocked the public, with British swimmer Adam Peaty criticizing the catering standards. The decision to prioritize eco-friendly practices, like using geothermal cooling instead of air conditioning and offering greener menus, seems to have impacted the quality and comfort of the accommodations.

Some athletes, like US gymnast Simone Biles and tennis star Coco Gauff, are trying to stay positive, focusing on the exciting aspects of the Games. However, the widespread dissatisfaction with food and facilities raises concerns about the overall Olympic experience.
