On Sunday, athletes, coaches, and team officials from around the world began to move into the Olympic village ahead of the Opening Ceremony, which take place on August 5. The move-in did not go swimmingly.
Team Australia called the village uninhabitable, as problems with plumbing, electricity, gas, and overall cleanliness forced them to quickly move into hotels. In the Dutch living quarters, a small fire broke out. Only 12 of the 31 buildings have passed safety inspections.
But Rio officials have promised to put the finishing touches on the village over the next two weeks. And when the Olympics do start, more than 11,000 people will call the Olympic village their home, so they'd better.
