No AC, tiny rooms, polluted water. That's real paris!
Jealous
@@GRbobkaina funny
In France we have drinking water everywhere and we can swim in the Seine now. No need to have A/C in the north ( or only 1 wee or 2 per year now) but only in the south with global warming !
@@stephen10. I literally just saw on a news report that they would checking the Seine's bacteria levels to see if it would safe to swim in for the Olympic events.
@@1000rogueleader because it 's rainy and their big used water reserve can be full and they can't clean up all.
The rain is the problem, too much water to clean up at the same time.
The no air conditioning situation is a big hassle since it’s summer.
It's normal in France, nobody has air conditioning. We use fans when necessary in the summer.
@@mxhdx_db😢sad for French people
@@mxhdx_db it depends where in the south of france where it's very hot in summer almost everyone has air-conditioning I don't know anyone who doesn't have air-conditioning in the south of france
you don't need it in Paris
lmao you know it's 16-18°C (60°F) at night in Paris? just open the windows when the sun comes down for one hour
The way the speaker talks makes me aggressive
😂 me too
Glad I'm not alone here... lol
you are not alone....
Keen to understand, what is wrong with the way speaker talks? This is interesting...
@@shwetankarya9991 the nasal speech is triggering
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
French people have very notoriously opposed A/C for years.
nobody use AC in north france because of moderate climat
Dont talk in our name
No air conditioning, cardboard beds? Hell naw, I’d be booking into a hotel if i were an athlete.
Cardboard beds were also used in the previous Olympics
Who's asking u by the way
They were very comfrotable in Tokio ;)
you must be american
Several athletes, including the U.S. Men's Basketball team, are in fact staying in hotels.
AC is the least of the worries. Village running out of food and some reports of undercooked food?
When I went to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, the Olympic Village was converted into the Ray Brooks Regional Correctional Facility (Jail). We had stainless steel beds, a Stainless steal sink and a Stainless Steal toilet in each room. After the games they removed all the doors and replaced them with the Prison Bars. All the windows though had bars. It was how a tiny Village in New York could afford to host the games.
What event were you in?
The french team apartment location has very convenient access to dining hall
Lack of air conditioning is one thing, but I've heard that windows lack mosquito screens. Come on, really?
Very few mosquito in Paris ! Poeple don't seem to know france !
What happens in the Olympic Village stays in the Olympic Village.
Except for STDs
I am a volunteer at the village is so cool 😊
Looks awesome.Best wishes from India.
They brought their own portable AC units. So it works.
I would never go to Paris. And I live in France.
les envahisseurs vont venir chez toi , c'est le projet
That's why Macron wants to send migrants to the rural areas. The plan is a complete destruction of France, its history and its culture.
No airco and cardboard beds for top athletes? Why, France, why??
You know the little boy that says “apparently” when he’s being interviewed? The way the narrator talks is the adult version of that.
And what would be there after the Olympics? A place for those who needs a place? If so, how much the rent will cost??
Cardboard beds? Interesting.
Cardboard beds is actually okay, it works like a normal bed
same during Tokyo olympics
Sounds like an AI voiceover...
Good luck France.
When are they coming in the rental market?
Prob a few months after
People from very hot countries: Can we have extra blankets? 😂
You know what, athletes from Thailand have been complaining on social media that Paris is hotter than Thailand, which is closer to the equator.
If National Rally showcases uniquely French sports and artistry I would be more interested
looks nice
How is the commentator employed? What is with her deliberately emphasized words?
Elite athletes, and you do not provide air conditioning... that is unfortunate.
They had cardboard beds at the Tokyo games as well. I honestly wouldn’t mind getting a fresh bed to be honest. 😊
Imagine enough athletes bringing their own AC units, how it's going to overtax the electrical grid... Gonna be interesting 🤷🏻♀️
Those beds look more uncomfortable than my military bunk.
I'm curious about the French security. Is it like caledonia
I'm French, I swear it isn't like New Caledonia! 45k cops will be in Paris during the Olympics. For the security, there will be drones and many other things. Ofc in all Europe there is a risk of terrorism but don't worry, France worked a lot for the security
No way bro said “SHina” instead of China
Shina is actually the original pronunciation. English pronunciation is the bastardised version. Same with Chinghis Khan. Genghis Khan is a bastardised pronunciation. Many countries pronounce China as Shina, the original and correct pronunciation.
Hope GIGN has been training hard…
Finished watching 2:03
Paris Olympic village Stay SAFE , never ever like MUNICH !
Most dangerous Olympics in terms of security concerns. The news we are getting are really horrifying. Is Paris a safe place to host such a massive sports event ?
We should just have it in Greece everytime.
Fully agree with your opinion
That would be great.
Nope 👎🏾
No we shouldn't.
I like that it moves.
why?
I think it's time to keep the games in just one country.
Who send letters????
it's more for parcels
Where is Thai People Sailor ?
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.
It's actually a net positive for Paris since 90% of the sporting venues are pre-exisiting, and ticket sales and tourist numbers are record-breaking.
It will bring in loads of money though
To be fair this city was trash before the athletes arrive.
The scale of the Olympics doesn't make economic, environmental, and logistical sense for any city. I honestly believe it's better for sports to just have their own world championship event rather than combine everything into this monstrosity of a mess
Then how would it be a world championship if everyone hosted their own games?
Actually I like the idea of having Olympics. But I think they should be organized in the same city every year (in a city in Greece for example). One country could be in charge of the ceremonies and the design but the facilities could always be the same.
The Olympics make me so happy! Go Team USA. Thanks for hosting France.
Finally a positive comment! Thx
Cardboard beds
same in TOkyo olympics
By some teams they meant United States.
AC is actually a very new/modern invention. Humans have only widely started using AC since the 1950s. We survived before the 1950s without AC, athletes will be able to survive without AC today. They are mentally strong
Pickpocket is every were in Olympics
How many condoms will be distributed? 👀
2
300,000 no joke
This narrator sounds very woke.
Did i hear chinese journalist say - "Can you stay away?"
good luck sending a letter by laposte
why?
No AC??? The corruption is strong in this one
Again with the ugly architecture
Very nice - but good luck doing well if you're an Olympic athlete after sleeping on those cardboard beds (!), and with no air conditioning.
The really elite athletes, the top 1% in their respective sports surely won't be staying there.
The American athletes will have AC.
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.
@@buffybeast why only Americans??
@@fromthefountofyouth BARON de COUBERTIN 's purpose during OLYMPIC GAMES : Brotherhood and compétions between various nations athletes . SO' If some athletes hire private accommodation.. It's up to them.. but they will miss the friendship spirit of the OLYMPIC VILLAGE and also the SECURITY provided by Police and SECURITY staff.
shame on you . just saw boxing match
the TRUTH about this real estate project is , they needed an excuse to create more housing for the migrants and refugees , since they plan to host millions of them .
this district is already the most full of immigrants , almost autonomous foreign enclave near Paris
you don't now france i think
😂😂😂 cardboard beds 😅not recommended by doctors
no AC, what a joke. These Europeans are out of control
america pollution
"These Europeans (...)". Girl, we're talking about the French here. Europe isn't a nation. Open an atlas, look at a map.
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?
Paris has a higher latitude than the city of Montréal in Québec / Canada. The jet stream above the atlantic refresh north of france in summer. it 's not like continental weather in usa , americans need A/C but not western europe in summer or 1 or 2 weeks per year now with global warming.
I remember that the Tokyo games mentioned that the flemsy beds were to prevent sex😂😂😂
🤔. Weird comment 😂.... Having sex ONLY on bed 😉. ... terrible lack of imagination 😉
Well, that’s ugly
Stop looking in the mirror
To France, if you're poor, please don't host the Olympics. It's embarrassing that there is no AC in rooms.
IN ALL MY HEART, I WISH THE PARIS OLYMPIC NOT SUCCESS
you mean like your whole country ?
Worst Olympic in the history. period.
Looks cheapskate and low class.
Thanks France 🇫🇷 for putting life back 🔙 into the games. 🏟📧📱🥤🍔🍟
